Whoop Eyes IPO After $575 Million Funding Round

Whoop, the wearable fitness startup, raised $575 million in new funding at a $10.1 billion valuation and is now preparing for a public listing, according to comments from CEO Will Ahmed. Ahmed said the Series G round is expected to be the company’s last as a private business, pointing to improved financial performance and a stronger balance sheet. Whoop said it was operating cash flow positive in 2025 and ended the year with a bookings run rate of $1.1 billion. The company also reported more than 2.5 million members and bookings growth of 103% year over year.

The round was led by Collaborative Fund and included participation from major institutional investors such as Qatar Investment Authority, Mubadala, Abbott, and Mayo Clinic, along with high-profile athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James. The funding comes as Whoop expands beyond fitness tracking into broader health monitoring. Its latest devices include FDA-cleared ECG and blood pressure features, part of a push into what Ahmed has described as the growing longevity and preventive health market.
