Serena Williams On Life After Tennis | Forbes

Serena Williams exemplifies courage, beauty, power and style, and has overcome insurmountable odds to win 23 career Grand Slams, the second-most singles titles of record. Her remarkable tennis achievements combined with her off-court success in fashion, philanthropy and business make her one of the most recognizable global icons in the world. In early 2019, Serena launched her own VC firm, Serena Ventures, which is focused on investing in companies that embrace diverse leadership, individual empowerment, creativity and opportunity.
At the 2019 Under 30 Summit in Detroit, Serena sat down with Forbes' Randall Lane to discuss the types of companies - and entrepreneurs - she looks to invest in.
