Born and raised in San Paolo, Brazil, Frangulis studied law at FAAP (Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado) in 2014, he told Forbes Brazil in July 2023. However, he added that he didn’t earn his degree or take the Brazilian Bar Exam.

“I always knew I wouldn’t be a lawyer,” Frangulis said. “What I really wanted was to be an entrepreneur.”

He went on to found Oakberry, a brand connected to his Brazilian heritage in its involvement with the Amazon rainforest, where açaí berries, the brand’s main product, are harvested.

In June 2023, Frangulis was on the cover of Forbes Brazil. In the cover story, the founder shared how he blends his spirituality and faith with his journey in entrepreneurship, as well as the hardships he’s faced both personally and professionally.

“I have always been a believer, in the sense of faith,” he explained. “And I have held on to that in those moments when we feel at rock bottom and need to react.”

Frangulis later shared his gratitude on social media, emphasizing the excitement of the milestone.

“You can’t pretend it’s just another day or just another magazine, for any entrepreneur it’s an accomplishment of many,” Frangulis wrote on Instagram. “Let’s keep going!”

He founded Oakberry in 2016

Frangulis founded Oakberry, a superfood brand specializing in açaí products, in December 2016. The brand quickly gained popularity for its açaí bowls and smoothies, and expanded rapidly, with over 700 stores across more than 40 countries.

The company raised $67 million in capital in late 2023, further solidifying its position as a leading player in the superfood market.

Speaking to Forbes Brazil, he emphasized the role of sustainability for the brand. “Açaí, as a fruit, only exists because of the subsistence culture of riverside communities in the Amazon Rainforest,” Frangulis said.

Throughout their relationship, Frangulis has been a steady supporter of his tennis pro girlfriend. He is often seen with Sabalenka at her matches, cheering her on during crucial moments.

They were first spotted together during the Mutua Madrid Open in April 2024, where Sabalenka was a finalist in her event. The two also shared a kiss after her victory at the Cincinnati Masters in August 2024.

Speaking to PEOPLE in August 2024, Sabalenka reflected on Frangulis being her “biggest” supporter through ups and downs over the past year.

“There was a really tough period where I was really happy to have him by my side, always cheering me up, always making sure that we are doing some fun stuff,” she said.

In January 2024, Sabalenka became a brand ambassador for Oakberry.

“Aryna Sabalenka is a great example of the future of tennis and we are working closely with her to create some really exciting things over the years,” Frangulis said in a statement at the time. “We can’t wait for our fans to get involved!”

More recently, in August 2024, the tennis pro announced a personalized açaí bowl in collaboration with the superfood chain.

“I’m so excited to introduce my new @oakberryusa bowl… the POWER SERVE BOWL,” she captioned a video on Instagram. “Packed with everything I rely on to stay energized on and off the court.”

In an interview with Forbes in August 2024, Sabalenka shared how she appreciates the element of creativity involved with her collaboration with Oakberry, as well as her genuine love of the company.

“[Business partnerships] become much more personal and special when there’s an opportunity to be creatively involved,” she said. “That creative input makes the partnership more meaningful and authentic. And in this case, even more special since I’m a big fan of the brand and the product.”

Frangulis is a motorsports athlete

Aside from his career as an entrepreneur, Frangulis is also a motorsports enthusiast, having competed in 128 races of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, according to Driver Database.

While balancing his passion for racing with his expanding brand isn’t easy, he finds ways to make it work.

“If I maintain a routine of physical training in my daily life, in addition to psychological support to cope with the pressure [therapy twice a week], I’m always prepared for the moment of driving,” Frangulis told Forbes Brazil. “Getting in the car and racing is one of the few moments when nothing else matters.”

Sabalenka has expressed her gratitude for Frangulis

Sabalenka, in turn, has been vocal about her appreciation for Frangulis’ support. During the trophy presentation at the Cincinnati Masters in August 2024, she mistakenly referred to him as her “boyfriends.”

“Thank you to my boyfriends – I said boyfriends, oh my god,” she said, then corrected herself. “Thank you to my boyfriend for keeping me happy every day.”

The following month, Frangulis posted a series of pictures on Instagram and the first snap featured the pair with cups of Oakberry acai bowls. The photo carousel also had more shots of him and the athlete, including pictures of them on the court, kissing at dinner and selfies beside a stack of pancakes at brunch.

Around the same time, Sabalenka featured Frangulis on her Instagram, posting a mirror selfie of the founder kissing her on the cheek.
