Pocket Sun built SoGal from a USC student project into one of the largest global networks for women entrepreneurs and investors with tens of thousands of members across multiple continents, then became a VC after completing Stanford's venture capital program and immediately created a female-led firm designed to break the status quo. She operates with a mission-first but returns-aware approach, requiring every portfolio company to have both clear social impact and strong profitability potential, while maintaining a cross-border investment lens across the US, Canada, and Asia with a track record of backing companies that quickly expand internationally.
