Enhanced Games Goes Public On NYSE At $1.2 Billion Valuation With Notable Investors

Property Image
Enhanced Games (@Enhanced_Games) became one of the most unconventional entrants in sports and capital markets, going public on the NYSE under the ticker $ENHA ahead of hosting its first competition and promoting an Olympic-style format where performance-enhancing drugs are permitted under medical supervision. The SPAC-backed listing closed at roughly a $1.2B enterprise value, positioning the company as both a sports platform and biotech bet on “human enhancement,” with events planned across swimming, track & field, and weightlifting featuring cash prizes for record-breaking performances. Founded by Christian Angermayer and Maximilian B. Martin, the New York City–based company has drawn a high-profile investor base including Donald Trump Jr., Christian Angermayer, Balaji Srinivasan, and Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, while framing itself as a pro-science alternative to traditional anti-doping sports governance amid ongoing criticism over safety and normalization concerns.
