Adobe is also an official partner of the National Women’s Soccer League and aims to advance equity in sports, helping players and fans develop creative skills on and off the field.
“This is a historic time for women’s soccer and the USWNT,” Nolan said in a statement. “As a fan, I can’t wait to watch. And as a host, I can’t wait to talk about all the players, teams and moments that will define this summer’s World Cup.”
Continuing to grow
Rosen launched JWS in 2020 as a digital-first media platform that’s 100% dedicated to women’s sports. The start-up raised $6 million in seed funding last year from investors such as Blue Pool Capital.
New investors include Billie Jean King, Washington Spirit owner Michele Kang, Abby Wambach and Apolo Ohno. They join former investors Kelley O’Hara, Elena Delle Donne, Hilary Knight, Arike Ogunbowale and Sam Mewis in supporting the outlet, which previously raised $3.5 million in 2021.
