Welcome back to Biography Flash. I'm your host, and today we're diving into the latest developments surrounding Sophia Kianni, the co-founder of the buzzy AI fashion startup Phia and one of the most influential young entrepreneurs making waves in tech right now.
Let me be upfront with you: the search results available don't contain any breaking news or developments from the past 24 hours specifically about Sophia. However, we do have some incredibly significant recent milestones worth highlighting that have shaped her narrative just in the last few months.
In September 2025, Sophia and her co-founder Phoebe Gates raised an impressive 8 million dollars in seed funding for Phia, with the round led by venture capital powerhouse Kleiner Perkins. What's remarkable is that this round came together in just three and a half weeks. The investor roster reads like a who's who of entertainment and business royalty, including Kris Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Michael Rubin, Sara Blakely, and Sheryl Sandberg. This was no small feat for a 23-year-old entrepreneur.
Phia itself has exploded since launching in April 2025. The app and browser extension, which helps users compare prices across more than 40,000 linked fashion sites, has attracted between 500,000 and 700,000 users depending on the reporting date. In October 2025, TIME Magazine recognized Phia as one of the Best Inventions of 2025, a tremendous validation for Sophia's vision.
Beyond the startup, Sophia has been leveraging her platform brilliantly. She and Phoebe launched a podcast called The Burnouts in April, which has accumulated nearly 10 million views across social media platforms and almost half a million Instagram followers. The show positions Sophia as a thought leader on entrepreneurship and career development for young people, particularly women.
What's particularly noteworthy is Sophia's background as a renowned climate activist who founded Climate Cardinals, a nonprofit focused on translating climate information into different languages. She was also the youngest person ever to become an advisor to the United Nations and has appeared on BBC's 100 Women list. So this tech founder is operating at the intersection of activism, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
The search results don't reveal any major headlines from just the past few days, but the trajectory Sophia is on suggests we should expect continued announcements regarding Phia's expansion and potentially more podcast episodes tackling the intersection of commerce and social impact.
