Pocket Sun and Leonika Sari Njoto Boedioetomo will both be in separate panels in Jakarta on 5-6 April 2016

Echelon Indonesia is just 4 days away, F-O-U-R people.

We are excited to announce that not only do we have one, but two women from Forbes 30 under 30 list. Pocket Sun, Founding Partner of SoGal Ventures representing in the Finance and Venture Capital space, while Leonika Sari Njoto Boedi Oetomo, Founder of Reblood, in the Science and Healthcare landscape.

Pocket is Founding Partner of SoGal Ventures, the first cross-border millennial VC firm led by women.

She will be part of a panel discussion on the STEER STAGE where she will be speaking on ‘Startup Life, Featuring Female Founders and Girls In Tech’.

Besides being featured on the cover of Forbes Asia as a 30 Under 30 in Venture Capital and Finance, and was named Linkedin 2015 Top 10 Voices in VC & Entrepreneurship. Previously, she founded SoGal, a fast-growing global community of diverse entrepreneurs and investors, and grew it to 4,000 members worldwide under a year. Pocket has advised and invested in dozens of startups on fundraising, talent recruitment, customer acquisition, and overseas expansion across the US and Asia.

As for Leonika, the idea of Reblood came with the realisation of the shortage of red blood cells in Indonesia. To answer the pressing issue, Leo (for short) founded her startup called Reblood on January 2015. It is an app that aims to provide solutions to increase awareness and promoting blood donation to help save more people’s lives.

As such, it is only right that Leo speak on the STEER Stage as part of a panel discussion on ‘Empowering Indonesia Through Social Entrepreneurship And #Tech4Good’.

Graduated from Information Systems major, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya, 22-year old Leo started her entrepreneurship journey after her participation in the MIT x Global Entrepreneurship Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2014. Reblood then joined Start Surabaya, a tech-incubator program initiated by KIBAR, Suara Surabaya, Spazio, and Enciety to empower the up-and-coming tech entrepreneurs in Surabaya. This program has been supported extensively by Tri Rismaharini, the current Mayor. Start Surabaya helps Reblood in many different aspects, including providing space for work, mentoring sessions by industry experts, as well as opening up doors to partnership with the right parties, such as the Red Cross.
