Haley Rosen (born June 1, 1993) is an American businesswoman and social media personality. A former professional soccer player, Rosen is the founder and CEO of the women's sports media start-up Just Women's Sports.
Early Life
Rosen was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She attended Stanford University on a soccer scholarship, where she played for the women's soccer team from 2011-2016. Rosen was a member of the team that won the 2011 NCAA Championship and was a 2015 All-Pac-12 First Team member.
Career
After graduating from Stanford, Rosen played soccer professionally both in the US and abroad. She founded Just Women's Sports in 2020, initially launching on social and the web. Rosen has said she launched the company in her free time after realizing it was too difficult to keep up with former teammates and friends who were still playing professionally.[1]
In 2020, Just Women's Sports launched The Just Women's Sports Podcast (later, The Players Pod) with two-time World Cup winner Kelley O'Hara of the USWNT.[2] In 2021, Rosen raised a $3.5 million round of seed funding from a group of venture capitalists including Kevin Durant, plus athletes such as O'Hara, Elena Delle Donne, Hilary Knight, Sam Mewis and Arike Ogunbowale.[3] In 2022, Rosen secured a further investment round of $6m led by Joe Tsai.[4]
Rosen was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in November 2021. In 2022, Rosen delivered a TEDx talk called "The problem with women's sports," which argued that internal stakeholders had hindered the growth of women's sports by mis-marketing athletes and teams.[5] In 2023, Rosen said the company had reached over 75 million users and generated over 250 million social impressions during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[6]
