from the firm's websiteAfter a tennis career that included 23 Grand Slam singles titles, Serena Williams formalized years of angel investing by raising a $111 million debut fund for Serena Ventures in 2022. The firm, whose day-to-day operations are led alongside partner Beth Ferreira, has backed more than 85 early-stage companies including Esusu and the women's basketball league Unrivaled, with an emphasis on founders overlooked by traditional venture. She has said the majority of her portfolio founders are women or people of color.
