I expect to deploy MITH capital into over 50 companies in the next 12–18 months, mostly within seed and Series A stages. Through these investments, I hope to grow the MITH ecosystem into a more robust ecosystem that encompasses more than the social sector it is already in.”

There, she sources deals, co-invests and assists their portfolio companies in fundraising and business development as well. In addition, she also co-founded Open Circles, a company that curates a global community of top thought leaders, change makers, investors, entrepreneurs and industry experts; and creates engaging experiences/forums for them to catalyze collaborations, economic growth and social impact.
By living between Singapore, New York, Hong Kong, and her roles at Vectr Ventures and Open Circles, she gains access to popular deals around the world. Prior to venture capital, she was a litigation and restructuring lawyer for 6 years in Singapore and Hong Kong.
