Moving into investing and VC-facing roles: In 2025 Mo is listed as a founding/managing partner at Pitlane Ventures and appears on regional judging and VC panels. This indicates a transition from program/operator roles toward early-stage investing and fund building while still maintaining community programming and speaking activities. cityscape-events+1
