Co-founding Reddit in Y Combinator's first batch in 2005 and steering it to a $6 billion IPO in 2024 would be enough — but Ohanian has since built a $900 million VC firm and co-founded NWSL's Angel City FC.
Alexis Ohanian is the Co-Founder of Reddit, one of the most influential social platforms on the internet, and the Founder of Seven Seven Six (776), a venture capital firm with over $900 million in assets under management.
Ohanian co-founded Reddit with Steve Huffman in 2005 as part of Y Combinator's first batch. Reddit has grown into one of the most visited websites in the world with over 100 million daily active users and went public in 2024 at a market capitalization of over $6 billion. After departing Reddit in 2014 (and returning to the board during a pivotal period), Ohanian co-founded Initialized Capital before starting Seven Seven Six in 2020. Named for the year of the first modern Olympics, 776 has invested in dozens of companies with a focus on social impact and long-term value creation. Ohanian is a major investor in women's sports, including as co-founder of Angel City FC (NWSL) and major investor in women's Ultimate Frisbee leagues. He is married to tennis legend Serena Williams. His co-founding of a platform used by hundreds of millions and his second act as an investor focused on impact and women's sports makes him a uniquely multidimensional entrepreneur.
