Stephanie Choo has served as a General Partner at Portage since 2016. She runs the investment team in North America. She is passionate about partnering with the next generation of Fintech entrepreneurs globally and spends most of her time in consumer fintech, embedded infrastructure, payments and crypto. She is particularly obsessed with:
- democratizing access to financial products and disrupting existing financial services monopolies
- disintermediating middleman through tech and AI
- replacing the creeky rails that all of financial services are built on
Prior to Portage, she led a team, which built and launched a leading digital advice platform in Canada, which now serves over 2M Canadians. Before that, she worked at BCG, where she nudged several large financial services incumbents on their journey to modernity. Her journey to Fintech started at a mobile payments startup, which was a lot of fun, but didn’t work.
In her free time, you can find her at a music venue, trying to find the best Malaysian food in the city or sitting at a cocktail bar. She also happens to love après-ski – and you should find her if you do too.
Stephanie is based in NYC, but is a proud first generation Canadian. She holds a B.Comm. from Queen’s University.
