Bryant will become No. 3 shareholder for sports drink company
BodyArmor, a Beverly Hills, Calif.-based sports drink company, announced that professional basketball player Kobe Bryant made a significant investment in the company and will become its No.3 investor, behind co-founders Mike Repole and Lance Collins.
With his investment, Bryant will become an influential partner and board member in the beverage start-up and will work closely with Repole and Collins to continue to build the brand, the company says. Bryant first discovered BodyArmor last summer during his rehab training and then, after contacting and connecting with Repole, he became interested in getting involved.
