Sofiat Abdulrazaaq Biography

Sofiat Abdulrazaaq, JD, is co-founder & CEO of Goodfynd, a payments platform & marketplace that harnesses the power of aggregation to boost the accessibility and discoverability of mobile food businesses. An impact-first executive, Abdulrazaaq’s entry into the fintech industry was born by her desire to pair her foodie status with an easy-to-use payments platform that would help food truck operators, many of them immigrants & people of color.

Abdulrazaaq is a serial entrepreneur and privacy expert, who brings a decade of experience translating business goals into developed products. She has held prior leadership positions at some of the largest Fortune 500 and billion dollar nonprofit organizations and operates her own consulting practice.

It was during her undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech where friendship was sparked with her fellow Hokies and future co-founders of Goodfynd. After graduating with double majors in Political Science and Psychology, Abdulrazaaq went on to receive a Masters in Global Affairs from the University of Denver and her Juris Doctorate from American University College of Law with a specialization in Privacy Law.

In addition to co-founding Goodfynd, Abdulrazaaq also founded a consultancy practice, SBA Strategies, where she teaches product management and serves as a corporate advisor.

She is always energized by working with small businesses and entrepreneurs to share her expertise, helping them build sustainable, prospering companies. She is committed to heightening the voices of underrepresented and underserved individuals.
