As an angel investor in technology, I find Sophia’s insights and advice very useful, as well as time-saving, helping filter the relevant aspects.
Thank you!

Executive Director & UChicago MPA
As an alumna of UChicago, I studied courses in policy, social impact, and business. However, I never knew what it meant to build a tech-enabled product. I turned to a fellow alum, and joined Sophia's Tech for Non-Techies and never looked back. Now, I can have impactful conversations with tech experts.
