Talking about her venture capital (VC) firm, Serena said, “Our fund really impacts lives and companies in everyday life. So, what we try to invest in is companies that are really impacting everyday lives of everyday people. So that, kind of really broadens our spectrum of who we invest in. Also, it narrows down on who we do not invest in.”
