Performance wearable company WHOOP closed a $575 million Series G round at a $10.1 billion valuation. With 2025 bookings growing 103% year-over-year and 2.5 million members worldwide, the Boston-based platform has moved continuous biometric monitoring into mainstream consumer health.
Key Takeaways
- WHOOP raised $575 million at a $10.1 billion valuation, led by Collaborative Fund
- 2025 bookings grew 103% year-over-year, exiting the year at a $1.1 billion annualized run rate
- The platform now holds more than 24 billion hours of physiological data from 2.5 million members
- Investors include sovereign wealth funds Qatar Investment Authority and Mubadala, plus health institutions Abbott and Mayo Clinic
- Athletes LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Rory McIlroy participated in the round alongside institutional backers
Who Backed WHOOP’s $575M Series G Round
Collaborative Fund led the raise. New investors included sovereign wealth funds 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority, and Mubadala Investment Company, plus Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, and B-Flexion. Returning investors IVP, Foundry, and Accomplice also participated. Abbott and Mayo Clinic joined as institutional health backers, connecting a consumer wearable directly to leading health research organizations.
The company has now raised more than $900 million in total venture capital since its founding in 2012.
Bookings Growth Tells the Revenue Story
WHOOP reported 103% year-over-year bookings growth in 2025, with annualized bookings hitting a $1.1 billion run rate. The company also operated cash flow positive during the year.
Members open the app an average of more than eight times per day. That is nearly three times higher than competing screenless wearables. Engagement feeds the membership model and the company’s growing data asset: 24 billion hours of physiological data collected across 2.5 million members in 56 countries.
Health Outcomes Research Tied to Daily WHOOP Use
Research cited by the company shows daily WHOOP wearers log 90+ additional minutes of exercise per week, get over two extra hours of sleep, and show 10% higher heart rate variability. For youth sports operators evaluating wearable integration, those are the kinds of measurable outcomes that justify premium programming tiers or athlete development add-ons.
The platform is backed by Abbott and Mayo Clinic and holds more than 24 billion hours of biometric data. Youth sports organizations exploring athlete health monitoring should evaluate how institutional-grade data validation affects program credibility and parent trust.
Founder and CEO Will Ahmed said: “Our raise brings together the world’s most sophisticated investors, leading health institutions, and iconic global athletes behind the mission to unlock human performance and healthspan. We are building the personal health platform that people use to improve their health and livelihood.”
Global Expansion and Hiring Signal Continued Investment
WHOOP plans to use the proceeds to expand across Europe, the GCC, Latin America, and Asia. The company is also hiring for over 600 new roles globally in 2026. With a 14-day battery life on its wearable and operations already running in six languages, the international infrastructure is largely in place.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who participated in the round, said: “WHOOP has become one of the most important tools I use to support my long-term health. I am proud to participate in this round because I believe in the future we are building together. No other company has created a health platform this powerful that people are proud to wear.”
Youth Sports Implications
Club directors and facility investors should treat WHOOP’s $10.1 billion valuation and 103% bookings growth as a market signal, not a distant trend. Continuous biometric monitoring backed by Abbott and Mayo Clinic is now a premium, institutional-grade product category. Operators who integrate wearable health data into athlete development programs can differentiate programming and create a recurring-revenue layer. The timeline is immediate: WHOOP is expanding to new markets in 2026, and the competitive window for early adoption advantage is open now.
