In an interview with CNBC “Closing Bell” following the Rio 2016 Olympics, Michael Phelps expressed his interest in transitioning from human dolphin to tech entrepreneur. In between laps, Phelps has been known for his product endorsements for brands like Beats by Dre, Omega, Intel, Under Armor and many others, bringing in around $75 million throughout his career. In a recent report by Michael Liedtke of Association Press, Phelps did not indicate a move to start a fund, but seemed to be getting closer to diving into the pool of investing in tech companies. If Phelps takes the investor plunge, he will join the wave of athletes and celebrities like Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, and Lady Gaga, who have a ton of cash and are looking to expand their ventures in tech startups. Transforming from athlete to entrepreneur is not easy step and there is a learning curve to picking the investment that’s right for them and understanding the risk. According to Liedtke, Michael Phelps is seeking advice from veteran investors and venture capitalists in Silicon Valley startups. That’s good, because there might not be a gold medal at the end of an investment.
