Luminous, an innovative software company headquartered in Utah, and its CEO, Jarred Ward, have recently provided insights into Serena Williams' active participation in their business endeavor.

Ward recalled the moment, saying, "Before you know it, yeah, we're in front of Serena Williams. It was nuts." At the time, they had already received a commitment from another investor, but Serena decided to invest a substantial $2.1 million through Serena Ventures. Ward stated, "It felt really cool when she invested in us because their whole motto is 'play to win.'"
