This group includes activist and Olympic soccer gold medalist, Megan Rapinoe, former two-time NBA MVP, Steve Nash, five-time LGPA champion, Michelle Wie West, and Cleveland Cavs general manager, Koby Altman. Former NBA star-turned-entrepreneur, Carmelo Anthony, UConn basketball coach, Geno Auriemma, VaynerMedia CEO, Gary Vaynerchuk and Hollywood actor, Ashton Kutcher are among others who contributed to the seed round.
