Episode 241: Edmonton Unlimited’s Open House Part 2

For Episode 242 of Amplify Your Business, we’re at the Edmonton Unlimited Open House, and we’re speaking to a lot of incredible entrepreneurs, hearing their stories, their challenges, and their successes. 

First up, we speak with Lilah Penddah, the founder and CEO of Afro Facts. Afro Facts creates educational tools, games, workshops, and webinars to help people increase their awareness with respect to black history, as well as give them the tools needed to have more productive and healing conversations with respect to diversity, equity and inclusion. To learn more about Afro Facts, visit their website at www.afrofacts.ca. 

Next up is Ali Salman, the founder of Lawtiq. Lawtiq is an online platform that allows you to connect with a lawyer in the time it takes you to order a pizza online. With just a few clicks, you can book an appointment with a lawyer of your choice, or if you’re looking for long-term legal services, they have a fixed-price option. Learn more at www.lawtiq.com. 

After Ali, Lance meets with Sahr Saffa, the founder of C-Tribe Society. C-Tribe Society’s mission is to find ways to celebrate diversity and to help more underserved and underrepresented innovators and creatives in achieving their goals. They operate across various verticals, ranging from the technology sector, fashion, music, gaming, and culturally inspired sectors as well. To learn more, find them on Facebook.

Our fourth interviewee is 14-year-old Sophia Fairweather, the founder of Key-Angels. Sophia founded Key-Angels when she was only 10, with a unique purpose in mind, which is to provide single-parent and zero-parent families with the ability to grow and succeed in their lives. They do this through a unique financing platform that connects single-parent and zero-parent families with “Angels” that help them with access to buying their first home.

Finally, Lance interviews Kevin Peterson, the founder of Zipstall. Zipstall is a parking app, downloadable from all major app stores, that doesn’t just allow you to pay for parking directly from the app but also helps you find available parking in downtown Edmonton – an often difficult task! By solving local parking crises, Zipstall brings communities together and helps Edmontonians support local businesses. To learn more, visit www.zipstall.com.
