When Tiffany Yau discovered that many of her fellow students were leaving the Philadelphia area after college, she decided to do something to keep them in the community.

Yau is the founder and CEO of Fulphil, a technology nonprofit that teaches young students about social entrepreneurship to inspire them to become more civically involved in their local communities. Launched in 2018, Fulphil runs an e-lab that teaches students about key principles of entrepreneurship, such as pitching, design thinking, product testing, and marketing strategy.
“We want to inspire our youth and give them the confidence that they can make a difference in their local community, wherever they are,” Yau told Lifewire in a phone interview.
During her senior year at the University of Pennsylvania, Yau noticed that many of her peers were leaving Philadelphia. This inspired her to start Fulphil to inspire young people in the area to give back to their communities through business. She says that social impact starts at a young age, which is why the company focuses on young students.
