LOS ANGELES — Alexis Ohanian has made millions by investing in people and ideas that others overlooked or undervalued. Three dozen times, he says, he wrote the first check for a start-up that went on to become a billion-dollar company.
But the decision to invest in Angel City, the start-up women's soccer club that makes its NWSL debut Friday, was perhaps the biggest no-brainer of his career.
"Ten or 15 years from now, when people look at Angel City FC, I think they'll actually see this one as being the most obvious," he said.
