Our story

“We have known each other for many years through our respective roles. Tanya is based in Singapore and founded Ladies Investment Club and Her Capital and Christine, in Hong Kong, works with AngelVest and Co-Founded Girls Just Wanna Have Fund$ . We were often working with Nicole, also in Hong Kong and her business Next Chapter Ventures.

Together we found we had a common passion and single minded goal of getting more women in control of their personal finances and ready to start investing.

It was a natural synergy to come together to build Sophia to Learn. Invest. Change the world.”
