About

Sophie Liao is a documentary filmmaker turned venture capitalist who founded her own fund after exiting a VR software startup within six months, building a top-decile performance record as a solo GP and first-generation immigrant without traditional VC credentials. She focuses exclusively on democratizing private investing by backing infrastructure that makes private assets as accessible as public markets, systematically investing in companies that solve each step of her own fund's workflow from fundraising to back office operations.
