Accredited Investor Podcast

What happens when a professional athlete turns their fierce determination to the world of venture capital? CiCi Bellis, a former professional tennis player, reveals the extraordinary journey from the courts to the boardroom.

CiCi’s story is a compelling mix of resilience, adaptation, and the power of a winning mindset, making this episode a must-listen for anyone intrigued by the intersection of sports and business.
Financial literacy and goal setting play monumental roles in CiCi's transition from athlete to investor, and she shares invaluable insights on diversifying investments and building a reliable support system.
