E391 – Current & Critical – Sophia Fairweather, The Youth Advantage - Stop Minimizing and Start Embracing Youth in Business
“I think a lot of the problems I bumped into in is there doesn’t seem to be a huge focus on retaining talent and youth.”
Sophia’s entrepreneurial journey is an inspiring one, and she recognizes the importance of supporting community through your company. At a time when housing affordability is a problem affecting many Canadians, Sophia understands it takes a village to collectively tackle big social issues. Her company, Key-Angels, is a unique financing platform purpose-built to connect single and zero-parent households with access to buying their first home. Sophia also explains the importance of sharing resources and her story with youth organizations, encouraging others in her age group to see the possibilities in entrepreneurship.
