The Antetokounmpo brothers, Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex, who are also all professional basketball players will serve as board members and co-founders of Ante, Inc. alongside Giannis, who is the chairman of the board.
“We are extremely grateful for all of the opportunities that we have,” said Thanasis in a statement. “All of my brothers continue to work hard both on and off the court, and I feel this is the right moment in our lives to launch Ante, Inc.”
No stranger to the business, the Antetokounmpo family has already made investments across various sports franchises, which include the Nashville SC Major League Soccer team as well as the Milwaukee Brewers.
“As the family never stops learning and growing on the court, they also have the same ambitions to grow off the court,” the release reads, according to BizTimes.
At this time, Ante, Inc. will be located in both the United States and Greece, the country where the Antetokounmpo brothers were born and raised.
