General Partner, Venture Partner, Valor Ventures

About

Renee Montgomery is the first WNBA player to become both an owner and executive of a WNBA team, then parlay that experience directly into a GP role in venture, positioning herself as a rare "player-to-owner-to-investor" operator whose perspective spans locker room, front office, and cap table. She carries a very specific "athlete-investor" thesis into tech and startups, publicly championing women's sports and women athletes as a fast-growing, under-monetized market and using that lens to spot opportunities in media, fan engagement, and emerging platforms.
