Sophia Kianni

I’m an Iranian-American entrepreneur and the founder of Phia, an AI shopping agent backed by Kleiner Perkins. I host The Burnouts, one of the fastest-growing female business podcasts. I graduated from Stanford University and founded Climate Cardinals, the world’s largest youth-led climate nonprofit. I also became the youngest United Nations advisor in U.S. history.

My storytelling has reached audiences across The New York Times, Vogue, BBC, NPR, CNN, and more, and I’ve built a community of over 400,000 followers online. I’ve spoken at universities like Harvard, Oxford, MIT, and Princeton, and served on advisory boards for the World Economic Forum, The New York Times, Born This Way Foundation, and others.

Ask me about AI products, founder storytelling, and youth leadership.
