Stephanie Choo runs Portage Ventures' North America investment team, bringing an operator's background from helping build a digital advice platform used by over 2 million Canadians before moving into venture, and she stays hands-on as a board member across companies like Albert, Atomic, Conquest Planning, Kikoff, and Benepass. Rather than chasing consumer fintech apps alone, her portfolio leans heavily into the infrastructure behind financial services—payroll data, card issuing, digital-asset risk pricing, and crypto rails—reflecting her first-generation Canadian roots and now New York-based, globally minded approach to backing the systems that make finance work.
