Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry may want to thank his wife, Ayesha, if Pinterest, a virtual ideas board, moves forward with an initial public offering.
The two-time NBA MVP, who invests in tech startups and earlier this month co-hosted the inaugural Players Technology Summit with teammate Andre Iguodala to help other pro athletes invest in tech startups, says he put money into Pinterest a few years ago as an introduction to tech investing, in part after being introduced to the app through his wife.
The opportunity was a way for him to get “skin in the game,” serving as a crash course in tech investing as he developed his skills and knowledge base.
