Pae Wu
Pae Wu is a general partner at SOSV and CTO at SOSV San Francisco where she leads deep tech investments into companies solving critical problems in industrial independence, human health, and planetary health. Her portfolio includes companies destroying forever chemicals in our water, deploying advanced sensors to keep the public safe, and dramatically reducing our dependence on petroleum.
