Alexis Ohanian, husband of Serena Williams, started his career with Reddit. As the platform gained fame, Ohanian began branching out with a venture capital foundation. After he stepped down from Reddit’s board, Ohanian decided to take his work with the 776 Foundation to another level. He has focused on the impact of climate change heavily and also works to help repair it through his investments. He recently announced a round of investment in one organization which is helping improve nature.

Along with his investments in companies, Ohanian has also decided to invest in individuals who are passionate about the subject. This year, he launched a plan which entailed a heavy investment for college students to leave college and start working to improve the environment.

Ohanian is an individual who is open about most of his passions on social media. Being a co-founder of a social media platform, Ohanian shares all his ventures with his followers. In a recent thread on Twitter, Ohanian talked about the state of the decaying environment of the world and how even he played a role in it. He started the thread with a quote talking about the mindset of tech founders 20 years ago.

He wrote, “20 years ago, tech founders said we were going to change the world. We did in some ways, but the stuff we built also messed a lot of things up. Now, the next generation of young inspiring founders is carrying the existential dread of our mistakes and is working to fix them.”

He further stated that new entrepreneurs have a higher chance of succeeding because they are working with a better mindset. Therefore, to support the current movement, he invested in a foundation which is aiming to reforest desolate areas.
