The company is based in France and has many licensed IPs, including La Liga, Bundesliga, and many more.
After Serena’s inclusion, the company wants to add at least two American sports this year, according to Forbes. Serena’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, first introduced her to this and she also reportedly made a personal investment in this company.
