Our story
“We have known each other for many years through our respective roles. Christine works with AngelVest and Co-Founded Girls Just Wanna Have Fund$ . I [Christine] often worked with Nicole who founded her business Next Chapter Ventures.
Together we found we had a common passion and single minded goal of getting more women in control of their personal finances and ready to start investing.
It was a natural synergy to come together to build Sophia to Learn. Invest. Change the world.”
