Winning the 2015 World Cup brought the U.S. Women's National Team fame and a parade — but no financial windfall. Now, four members of that team are launching a company to leverage their fame for good.

Winning the 2015 World Cup brought the U.S. Women’s National Team the highest-rated soccer game in U.S. history, a ticker-tape parade and a post-victory tour that generated millions for the U.S. Soccer Federation.

As Rhonda Rousey would say and the MMA would agree..... you get paid to the proportion of money you bring in and NOT because the men's soccer teams get paid higher. Investors know to pay them more because their games have full seating every time.
