Maria Sharapova Shares Her Excitement

These sorts of indulgences aren’t new to Sharapova as she had tie-ups with companies such as Nike, Pepsi, and Porsche, while she was still active in the game. Therefore, it’s safe to say that she isn’t a newbie in this field. She addressed her collaboration by saying, “This is a little announcement. It looks very formal as I sit here at the hotel desk to say that I have become a partner and investor in a platform called Public.” 

“For those of you that much about financial or investment space, it can seem incredibly intimidating, not very simple. What I love about Public is how user-friendly and uncomplicated it really is.” She added.

Sharapova stated that many reasons that back her decision. “40% of the audience at Public, are female which in the space is unheard of. If I may say so myself. 45% of the audience are people of color. I am incredibly proud to partner with a platform that represents such a diverse group and one of the main reasons I have invested. I will be doing a public live in December, so stay tuned for the date. Can’t wait to see you there. Join me!”
