Pair Eyewear's Sophia Edelstein on building the Warby Parker for kids

Joining me in today’s episode is the founder of a company that’s been dubbed the Warby Parker for kids, Pair Eyewear.  Sophia and her co-founder Nathan started Pair in 2017 after meeting at Stanford and decided to take on the challenge of designing beautiful eyewear that’s also customisable for kids while also giving back to children around the world who are in need of vision care.  We’re covering her experience as a young twenty something woman jumping head first into entrepreneurship, validating her concept only after interviewing over 400 families, getting onto SharkTank and the impact it’s had on her business, and how they innovated during the pandemic in a major way.  LINKS WE MENTION: Pair Eyewear Pair’s Instagram  Female Startup Club EYElliance - Non-profit dedicated to making sure every school age child around the world has access to vision care.
