Serena Williams Instagram – Last week, we hosted our Annual General Meeting at the Crosby Hotel in NYC, a day of reflection, insight, and connection.
Serena Williams opened with a look back at our progress since launching Fund I in 2021, and Beth Ferreira shared our continued focus on building enduring, high-conviction partnerships. We heard from standout founders, including Wemimo Abbey (Esusu) and Emily Hosie (REBEL), on their growth and impact.
Partner Sharla Grass led a thoughtful discussion on AI’s role in venture and firm operations, followed by a panel featuring Alfia Ilicheva (Formulary), Robert J Whitney (Hapiko), and Rob Ferguson (Microsoft for Startups) on how AI is reshaping industries and investment strategies.
A highlight of the day was Serena’s fireside chat with Melinda French Gates, exploring how entrepreneurship and investing can drive lasting change in caregiving, women’s health, and education. Grateful to our founders, partners, and investors for continuing to build with purpose and vision. | Posted on 16/Oct/2025 20:50:48
