Whoop has secured $575 million in Series G funding, reaching a $10.1 billion valuation, backed by major investors like Collaborative Fund, Abbott, and Mayo Clinic, along with global athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James. The funding follows a favorable regulatory shift by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which eased restrictions on Whoop’s health monitoring features. This positions the company for rapid global expansion and strengthens its role in the wearable health tech market.

Glimpse:

Whoop raised $575M in Series G, reaching a $10.1B valuation, with backing from Collaborative Fund, Abbott, and Mayo Clinic, along with top athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James.

Wearable health tech company Whoop has raised $575 million in a Series G funding round, pushing its valuation to $10.1 billion. The round was led by Collaborative Fund, with participation from Abbott, Mayo Clinic, and prominent athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, and Rory McIlroy.

The funding comes shortly after a regulatory turnaround by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Initially flagged in 2025 for its β€œBlood Pressure Insights” feature, Whoop received clearance in early 2026 when the FDA reclassified the feature under general wellness exemptions, removing stricter approval requirements.

With this boost, Whoop plans to expand across the U.S. and key international markets including Europe, the GCC, Latin America, and Asia. The company is also ramping up hiring, with over 600 new roles announced.

Founded by CEO Will Ahmed, Whoop continues to grow its subscription based wearable platform, offering advanced health monitoring features like ECG and atrial fibrillation detection. The latest investment strengthens its position in the competitive global health and fitness technology market.

β€œWhoop’s latest funding round, combined with regulatory tailwinds, marks a pivotal moment for the future of personalized health monitoring accelerating its journey toward becoming a global leader in wearable healthcare technology.”
