Through SoGal Ventures, they have invested in 150+ startups worldwide and built a track record of picking five $1B+ unicorns from the earliest stage. Pocket’s investment focus area is in the future of living, working and staying healthy, turning cutting-edge tech and science innovations into consumer-grade products & experiences for diverse demographics’ unmet needs.
Pocket has chartered a limitless career by breaking boundaries across multiple dimensions. Shortly after receiving a master’s degree from the USC in Entrepreneurship, Pocket became one of the youngest to be on the cover of Forbes.

Her work has been recognized with press features on Fortune, CNBC, BBC, Forbes, Bloomberg, to name a few, and awards including Entrepreneur Magazine 100 Most Powerful Women, VC Journal 2023 Rising Stars, Singapore 100 Women In Tech, LinkedIn Top Voices, and more.
