WHOOP Raises $575M in Series G, Valuation Hits $10.1 Billion as Global Expansion Accelerates

WHOOP, the human performance company, has officially announced a massive $575 million Series G funding round, propelling its valuation to $10.1 billion. The round was led by Collaborative Fund, with significant participation from a diverse group of institutional giants including Qatar Investment Authority, Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, and Macquarie Capital.

The Power of Star-Studded Backing

Beyond institutional support, the round saw personal investments from global icons such as Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, and Rory McIlroy. WHOOP states that this convergence of healthcare institutions and elite athletes reflects the brand’s growing influence as it transitions from a niche fitness tool to a globally recognized health platform.

Explosive Growth and Financial Stability

Operating on a subscription-based model, WHOOP now boasts over 2.5 million members worldwide. In 2025, the company recorded a staggering 103% growth rate, with the majority of new users coming from markets outside the United States. WHOOP confirmed it is now cash-flow positive, with an annual recurring revenue (ARR) surpassing $1 billion.

AI-Driven Personalization at Scale

With a proprietary medical-grade dataset spanning over 24 billion hours, WHOOP is leveraging its vast information to develop advanced AI models. These models provide highly accurate, personalized health insights for every user. The newly secured capital will be used to cement WHOOP’s position as a world leader in digital health and performance tracking.

In an era where people are experiencing "screen fatigue," WHOOP stands out as a screenless wristband. This makes it a 24/7 accessory that doesn't distract, yet collects deeper data than typical smartwatches, especially accurate heart rate variability (HRV) and sleep quality measurements at a lab-level.

The investment from Abbott and the Mayo Clinic is a significant turning point, signaling that WHOOP is shifting from a "fitness" device to a full-fledged "medical" device. In the future, we may see WHOOP's data integrated into hospital systems for immediate early diagnosis.

The 103% growth outside the US by 2025 is partly due to the use of global influencers like Cristiano Ronaldo, which quickly opened up markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, establishing the brand as an aspirational lifestyle brand.

With a database of 24 billion hours of sleep, WHOOP is developing a Generative AI Coach that doesn't just tell you how many hours you slept, but can "recommend" how intense your workout should be for the day. Or how much more water should you drink based on your real-time physical condition, something competitors don't yet offer with as much detail.
