On Thursday, November 28, 2024, Serena Williams’ husband, Alex Ohanian, took to his Instagram page to share a hospital image of himself and his family. According to Ohanian, he had recently received surgery after some cancer-causing thyroid nodules were discovered in his body.

What Does Alexis Ohanian Do for a Living?

Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Kerry Ohanian, is an American investor and internet entrepreneur best known for co-creating Reddit, an online bulletin board. In 2005, Ohanian, along with Aaron Swartz and Steve Huffman, co-founded the social media platform Reddit. Following its creation, Ohanian served on Reddit’s board of directors from 2005 until his resignation in 2020.

In addition to co-founding Reddit, he launched the social company Breadpig, helped develop the travel search engine Hipmunk, and co-founded the early-stage venture funding firm Initialized Funding.

He worked at Y Combinator as a partner as well. Since 2022, Ohanian has funded climate-related ventures initiated by young innovators through a grant program modeled after the Thiel Fellowship.

The fellowship is intended for students aged 23 and younger and provides a financial benefit totaling $100,000 over two years. The program provides financial benefits as well as guidance and resources for students to leave school and pursue work related to combating climate change.

The option also extends to students wanting to quit school for scientific research, start a business, or work on social movements.
