THE LARGER TREND

In 2019, Mayweather founded the Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization focused on economic growth and development, community health and wellness, and youth education.

Several celebrities have made their way into the healthcare space, including U.S. tennis champion Andy Roddick, who announced a partnership in June with Glen Tullman’s Transcarent, a digital platform focused on the self-insured employer market.

Roddick’s ViewFi, a tech-enabled virtual orthopedic and rehabilitation platform, partnered with Transcarent to deliver patients virtual orthopedic and musculoskeletal care through Transcarent’s Consult Solution.

Fellow tennis champion Serena Williams started her venture fund in 2014, dubbed Serena Ventures, which has invested in connected fitness company Tonal, virtual and in-office healthcare provider Juno Medical, and at-home cervical cancer screening company Teal Health. 

Williams also backed Lifeforce, a personalized healthcare platform based on a telehealth model that was cofounded by motivational speaker Tony Robbins.
