“I want to play for a very long time,”says Booker, a 6-foot-5 guard who is one of just six players in NBA history to have posted a 70-point game and who helped lead the Suns to their first conference title in 28 years last season. But, he adds, “I’m worried about life after basketball and building businesses that will be here once the ball stops bouncing.” Joining the NBA’s investing craze, he has acquired equity stakes in multiple companies, including sports- video business Overtime and convenience store delivery app GoPuff, and is playing a hands-on role as a co- owner of coconut-water brand COCO5. Booker, who won an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo, also collects an estimated $8 million annually from endorsem*nt deals with such brands as Nike and the video game Call of Duty, on top of his $31.7 million salary this season.

From his office window, Wen can see the long line of ships queuing up to get into the port of Long Beach, California. The supply chain crunch that has stressed the global economy has been good for the China-born entrepreneur’s startup, which helps clients such as Mattel and Wayfair find truckers to take containers from ports and railheads to warehouses and stores. The business is set to post $28 million in revenue this year, up from $11 million in 2020. Wen got the idea to modernize freight logistics while running a business that exported luxury goods. “In the shipping world, they were still faxing paperwork around,” he says. “That made no sense to me.” [-]

Halioua, who studied neuroscience at the University of Texas, Austin, and economics of gene therapeutics at Oxford, founded San Francisco– based biotech Cellular Longevity (known as Loyal) in 2019 to identify compounds that help prevent undue aging and cancer in dogs, which could also potentially help humans.

Her first anti-aging drug entering clinical trials next year targets a cellular mechanism hypothesized to mitigate mental and physical decline associated with age. The pre-revenue company has raised over $38 million in venture capital. “There’s never been a drug approved for aging for any species, dog or human,” Halioua says. “My core goal in life is to get the first drug approved.” [-]

In 2018, when Conlow was 22, he talked his father into investing $50,000 of his retirement savings in an affordable electric bicycle he was designing. Though his first iteration flopped because of factors like range and speed, and “potentially screwed up [Dad’s] retirement,” Conlow quickly retooled and created Lectric’s $1,000 XP model (a typical e-bike costs more than $2,000), which he started selling in 2019. To date, Conlow has sold more than 100,000 bikes; the company is on track to book $85 million in revenue this year. Most importantly, his father got his retirement savings made flush again. “We got my old man paid back, and he’s happy with the investment now,” Conlow says. [-]

Onboarding new employees can be a tricky process, especially during the pandemic, when many new hires haven’t even met their managers or teams in real life. Spekit is here to help. The three-year-old Denver- based startup takes things like training manuals and employee handbooks and puts them in a centralized system where it’s easy to access them over time. “In our personal lives, everything is instantly accessible in our smartphones and personalized to us, but in the workplace you have to go digging for information,” Fellay says. Spekit has 90 employees, more than $12 million in funding and clients including Southwest Airlines and Uber Freight. [-]

He partners with high schools with teacher shortages or sparse AP offerings and offers subscriptions to individuals for $10 a month.His startup, Emile Learning, breaks lessons into bingeable segments that run under 10 minutes, tailored to today’s attention span. He’s signed up dozens of school districts, reaching over 70,000 students. “We’re building the Netflix of high school education,” he says. “A student anywhere in the world should be able to access any course, anytime, anywhere.” [-]

The 2003 film School of Rock gave actor Miranda Cosgrove her big-screen debut at age 10, but her career really took off a few years later when she was cast as the titular character, Carly, in the hit Nickelodeon series iCarly. By 2012 she was pulling down $180,000 per episode, making her the highest- paid child actor (a Guinness World Record that still stands). But some- thing was missing: “I didn’t have any creative control over what I was doing,” she says. Having attended the University of Southern California, she’s now an executive producer on the 2021 Paramount+ iCarly reboot. ViacomCBS CEO Robert Bakish has called out the show for being a leading driver of subscriptions in the streaming wars.“I knew from a really young age how the executive producer of the show pretty much got to decide almost every aspect,” Cosgrove says. “NowI get to have a say in everything.” [-]

Doherty is investing in creators and the companies that support themas a cofounder of Behind Genius Ventures, the venture capital firm she launched with Joshua Schlisserman in March 2021. So far, the duo have begun to invest their $5 million fund into 12 core investments including Pallet (a job site for independent creators), gamified fitness startup Aviron and FYPM,a sort of Glassdoor for Gen Z. Early backers include Union Square Ventures’ Andy Weissman, Free- style’s Jenny Lefcourt, Bain Capital Ventures and Tribe Capital. To help describe her dream job to her parents, Doherty published a picture book ex-plaining venture capital,Seed to Harvest, featuring a foreword by ForbesMidas List superstar investor Ann Miura-Ko.“My goal is to make venture more transparent,”Doherty says. “I want more people to feel welcome here.” [-]

Walsh already has orders for 2,000 of his all-electric vans, jitneys and delivery trucks worth $400 million. “I believe that the clean energy movement was catalyzed by the pandemic,” he says. “Capital markets have shifted, and clean energy is becoming economically viable.” Aside from having the company’s name on the grille, Endera’s vehicles look nearly indistinguishable from standard-issue gas guzzlers on the road today. And that’s the point—to provide customers a seamless transition to electrified transportation. [-]

In 2020, two years after founding the wildly popular sex-and-dating podcast Call Her Daddy, Cooper and her cohost, Sofia Franklyn, went through a public breakup over intellectual property. Cooper came out victorious, striking a deal with Barstool Sports, which agreed to give her full IP rights if she’d do the podcast solo with Barstool for one year. She left Barstool this past summer after landing a three-year licensing agreement with Spotify reportedly worth north of $60 million, making her one of America’s highest-paid female podcasters. “I didn’t go to business school,” Cooper says. “I didn’t know any of this stuff, trademarks and the importance of the IP.” But she knows now. Today, millions of listeners tune in to a more mature version of the pod- cast, which focuses on mental health with guests such as Miley Cyrus, Chelsea Handler and Tiffany Haddish. [-]

Owning a home might exemplify the American Dream, but paying your mortgage can be a nightmare. Wang’s Valon makes paying off life’s biggest purchase a bit easier by automating payments, giving a clear view of one’s balance and educating borrowers about loans, taxes and insurance. Mortgage lenders like Starwood Capital pay Valon for every mortgage it handles; earlier this year Wang raised $50 million from Andreessen Horowitz and others to go after incumbents like Black Knight, the $11 billion leader in the space. Valon currently services $5.5 billion worth of loans and aims to offer home insurance. Says Harvard grad Wang: “It sounds like a boring business, but it’s incredibly impactful.” [-]

Acquco is one of the largest and fastest-growing aggregators of companies that sell on Amazon. Nirmal has raised $160 million to acquire businesses that will generate some $250 million in revenue this year. “I’ve been living and breathing Amazon,” says Nirmal, who worked as an analyst at the ecommerce giant right out of college and started several Amazon companies himself. Now he’s scaling others’ products (household items like shower curtains, bug zappers and milk frothers), a process that includes expanding beyond Amazon to sites such as Walmart, Target and Best Buy. “We think the potential isn’t just getting a bunch of brands on Amazon. We think the true potential is turning these brands into true omnichannel brands,” says Nirmal, a Sikh who emigrated from India when he was 7 years old. He has given away Teslas for leads on deals in the white-hot space and is in the process of raising another $400 million. [-]
