Founders
Sovann has deep expertise in maths education, having tutored over 10+ years and emerged from an unconventional school path, leading him to Oxford at 15. He holds a Mathematics Masters from Oxford and a Masters of Engineering from Stanford, where he conducted medical research. Sovann also spent 3 years working in finance, for a hedge fund and then for Softbank.
After earning a degree in Physics and Computer Science from École Polytechnique, I moved to the Bay Area to pursue a Research Master’s in Energy Science Engineering at Stanford University. I am now excited to join Y Combinator’s Winter 2025 batch and embark on this exciting entrepreneurial journey!
Ex-quant, physics champion and VC, I want to share my passion for science. I grew up between Italy, Switzerland, South Korea and France. I started coding and tinkering with physics very early and won the International Physicists' Tournament in 2022. I've also briefly headed the nascent early-stage investing at Squarepoint Capital, a leading quantitative hedge fund.
