Sophia Tabibian co-founded Covalence Global—a network catalyzing international collaboration among young climate entrepreneurs, investors, and climate leaders to evolve the historically siloed approach to climate action. Envisioned as "The Y Combinator for the Planet," Covalence spans 31 countries on five continents, launching enterprises and impact funds tackling climate issues worldwide.

Sophia developed The Climate Map, an action-oriented platform where anyone can navigate the complexities of climate work. The platform 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. Sophia plans to scale Covalence into a venture capital firm that funds climate innovations, focusing on empowering developing nations and young entrepreneurs worldwide.


When collaboration is scarce, so too is creativity, energy, and the drive to do something exceptional. The World Around is a community within which I have felt empowered to do bigger and better things.
