Serena told Business Insider what made her naturally good at making business.

"Coming from a sports background and a sport that was an individual one, I've developed a habit of trusting my gut. So when it came to venture and founders, it wasn't hard to apply it," Williams told Insider in an email. "I also know what it looks like to be incredibly talented and not given the exposure because of the color of your skin.

It's another reason I love investing — to close that gap."
