Serena Williams: My days often begin at the break of dawn and extend well into the night”: Serena Williams opens up on transition from tennis player to entrepreneur

Former world number one Serena Williams has recently penned a heartfelt letter, expressing the difficulties she faced in becoming an entrepreneur.

The 42-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of women’s tennis in the singles category, having won as many as 23 Grand Slam titles in her career.

Williams’ career on the court came to an end in September 2022 after struggling with form and fitness in the later stages. Since then, she has been working hard to become a successful entrepreneur as well.

She is the founder and CEO of Serena Ventures which is a firm that was established to help other startups.

Willimas, in a post on her official account on her social media platform Instagram, penned an emotional letter expressing how difficult the journey of becoming an entrepreneur has been for her.

“Being an entrepreneur is not always easy. My days often begin at the break of dawn and extend well into the night. But in the end, I love reinventing myself in different and authentic ways. Transitioning from a tennis player to a venture capitalist has allowed me to pursue my passion for investing in women,” she wrote.
