I had the amazing opportunity to interview Geoffrey See, the CEO of Poko a Y-Combinator backed company. Geoffrey started his career with Bain, and then very quickly founded Choson Exchange, a not-for-profit where he trained thousands of female entrepreneurs in North Korea on how to run businesses. His work also led him to become a protagonist for a Harvard Business School Case Study.

While he was in North Korea, he also understood the importance of financial inclusion and got introduced to the world of crypto. In 2018, he drove the launch and go-to-market strategy for a blockchain that led to the formation of a regulated private exchange HG Exchange that partially exited to Binance. Now with Poko, he aims to improve the payments infrastructure within web3 particularly when it comes to gaming.
