Morgan is inspired by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who is a lead investor in the majority women-led consortium that owns Angel City FC. Shedding light on her new investment, the USWNT star said, “It’s an interesting transition period for me. I definitely see myself as an entrepreneur.”
While speaking of her new mentor Alexis Ohanian, the NWSL club San Diego Wave FC player said, “We’re rivals on the soccer field. But off the soccer field, he’s really helped guide me in the VC space.” It was his advice to keep questioning at every stage and not to be afraid of taking new decisions that led Morgan to her current investment. 
Morgan will be in a dual role at Teamable, which is a hiring platform. Teamable, a San Francisco-based company, combines Artificial Intelligence with human recruiters to render its services. Last year, Morgan also ventured into a media platform TOGETHXR with WNBA star Sue Bird, Olympic swimmer Simone Manuel, and snowboarder Chloe Kim.
