In the recent Bloomberg Technology Podcast, Serena Williams talked with Emily Chang about her venture capital firm, Serena Ventures as she got candid about investing in that firm since 2014 alongside CFA Alison Rapaport.

You know, you have to put a lot of effort into learning.

The American further continued, “I know what it takes to be the best at something in the world. So, I’m bringing that to the table and not many people have but at the same time, I understand that the hard work and the dedication and also then that champion’s mentality of like, ‘I like winning’. So, you do what does it take to win and it’s really just figuring that out and applying into this part of my life.”
Recently, Serena expressed her unhappiness over a New York Times article about her Serena Ventures. In that article, they posted a picture of Venus Williams instead of her.
