Alexis Ohanian, the tech entrepreneur and “Business Dad,” has once again shown his compassionate side, reaching out to support those in need amid the chaos of Hurricane Milton. As the Category 3 storm prepares to make landfall in Tampa Bay, with mandatory evacuations underway, Ohanian offered his heartfelt words to friend and media founder Mike Solana, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to warn of the storm’s potential devastation. Ohanian responded, “Please Be Safe,” underscoring his concern for those caught in the storm’s path.
This empathetic gesture is typical of Ohanian, who’s become known for his unwavering support for friends and colleagues. Just days earlier, he shared a touching response to fellow investor Jack Altman’s tribute to his late father. Ohanian, who experienced a similar loss, connected deeply, responding, “I feel this. 🙏 HBD Mr. Altman.”
In addition to personal connections, Ohanian has been a steadfast champion for women’s sports. His commitment to empowering female athletes has grown through initiatives like Athlos NYC, which launched this year to support female athletes, particularly in track and field. Reflecting on the project’s success on the podcast Ready Set Go, Ohanian shared his vision for “phase two,” highlighting his dedication to amplifying opportunities for female athletes.
Whether supporting those facing nature’s fury or championing women’s sports, Ohanian’s actions consistently reflect his commitment to positive change—an influence felt both on a personal level and across the sports world.
