Social Media at the Olympics: Evan Spiegel & Alexis Ohanian 07/31/24

This year, the Olympics have reached gender parity, according to the International Olympic Committee. Venture capitalist Alexis Ohanian, 776 founder and Reddit co-founder and former executive chairman, discusses his long-held belief in the business opportunity of women’s sports, as well as Athlos, his new womens-only track meet with the sport’s largest prize purse. He says, social media is an important ingredient in the rise of female athlete popularity. For Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, social media is key for the Olympics, too; Snap’s augmented reality lens is available through the official Olympics app, for fans in Paris for the Games. Spiegel discusses prospects for the LA 2028 Olympics, and his vision for a future of lenses, instead of screens. Tune into the Olympics on NBC for all the Games!
