Serena Williams

About

Renowned for 23 Grand Slam singles titles, Serena Williams transitioned from tennis dominance to venture capital leadership after retiring in 2022, growing Serena Ventures since 2014 into a powerhouse with over 85 investments, 79% from underrepresented founders and 60% diverse-led companies boasting a $33 billion market cap.. As a partner rather than operational lead, she prioritizes visionaries solving real problems in underserved markets, partnering with figures like Michael B. Jordan for HBCU pitch competitions offering up to $1 million in funding.. Her South Florida ties trace back to rigorous training in Florida courts, inspiring ongoing support for Miami-region innovators merging sports heritage with bold entrepreneurship.
