The late Kobe Bryant will always be remembered most for his historic basketball career with one of the most revered franchises in all of sports, but there was more to the Los Angeles Lakers legend. In addition to spending time with his family, he’d begun a promising business career following his retirement from basketball.
Bryant’s business portfolio included the personal health care company, Art of Sport, which he co-founded.
According to CNBC, the company recently “announced it raised $6 million in a Series A funding round from investors.”
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban headlines the list of investors, but the group also includes Houston Rockets superstar James Harden, Pittsburgh Steelers standout wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and a member of the Brooklyn Nets, Wilson Chandler.
The company Chandler has now invested in — which was founded in 2018 –“says it avoids chemicals such as sulfates in its products and uses only ‘natural, high-performance botanicals.'”
