In this episode of the Inflection Point, I dive into an insightful conversation with Nelson Lee. Nelson is the founder of the campus safety app Haven, and is also a Governor at the University of Toronto and resides in Toronto, Ontario. He was inspired to create Haven in 2021 after a close friend confided in him about her harrowing experience of sexual assault on campus. Under Nelson's leadership, Haven has expanded to four universities across Canada, including the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa, serving a community of over 120,000 students. As an entrepreneur, Nelson was selected for the NEXT-36 program, one of Canada's premier startup accelerators. Prior to his venture into the startup world, he honed his skills as a software developer at Hearth, which is a Series B FinTech startup in San Francisco. Nelson is pursuing a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto. When he's not working on Haven, Nelson enjoys unwinding with games of Magic the Gathering and listening to Taylor Swift. His favorite TS track is “Call It What You Want”.
