WHOOP Was a Week Away from Bankruptcy. Now It's Worth $10.1 Billion

Will Ahmed was 22 when he started building WHOOP out of the Harvard Innovation Labs. He had never started a company or held a full-time job. He says 143 investors rejected him before WHOOP became one of the biggest names in wearables. Today, WHOOP is valued at $10.1 billion and has 2.7 million members across more than 200 countries. Watch the latest episode of “Founder Effect” on the link below to see how Ahmed turned a personal health problem into a screenless wearable used by athletes including LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Phelps. #CNBC #CNBCMakeIt #Entrepreneur #FounderEffect #WHOOP ----- Subscribe: @cnbci CNBC International Live: @cnbcinternationalive LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/cnbc/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cnbc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cnbc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cnbc Threads: https://www.threads.net/@cnbc X: https://twitter.com/CNBC Telegram: https://t.me/cnbc
