She described the platform as "AI-enabled but human-in-the-loop" with vetted contractors to address what she called "contractor anxiety" on both sides. Schola shared her background as a trained architect from Harvard School of Design who co-founded the company with Sophia, and discussed their mission to help homeowners understand and address home repair issues while connecting them with reliable contractors. www.HeyFixa.com - Instagram Honorable Mentions: Toscano Pizzeria Newtown Square Pizza Wawa Taff Treats Media, PA Keep Music Alive Rich Shane
