Project: Covalence Global
Sophia founded Covalence Global — a network catalyzing international collaboration among young climate entrepreneurs, investors, and climate leaders to evolve the historical siloed approach to climate action. Envisioned as "The Y Combinator for the Planet," Covalence spans 31 countries on 5 continents, launching enterprises and impact funds tackling climate issues worldwide. Sophia also developed The Climate Map, an action-oriented platform where anyone can navigate the complexities of climate work. The platform also showcases impactful collaborations to exemplify the most meaningful ways for sectors and regions to work together. Sophia also hosts The Climate Map podcast, interviewing experts on scaling sustainable technologies through finance. In 2023, Covalence hosted its inaugural Youth Climate Change Conference, where participants from 5 continents learned from dynamic, cross-sector workshops and dialogue. Sophia plans to scale Covalence into a venture capital firm that funds climate innovations, focusing on empowering developing nations and young entrepreneurs worldwide.
