Anna Young, Founder & CEO

Anna has been turning ideas into opportunities since she was seven, selling handmade paper door-to-door and running her own fan club. By nine, she knew she wanted to be a “computer artist,” foreshadowing a career that merges her early passions for creativity, design, and technology with her deeper purpose—fostering connection, community, and meaningful experiences.

She founded Buddi Brand Inc. to create solutions that foster meaningful connections and shared experiences. Workoutbuddi, its flagship product focused on social wellness, came from her own experience of wanting to establish community and belonging after moving to a new city and starting a new job.

This same thread of connection led Anna to cofound No Show Hero, where she serves as CEO. No Show Hero is a community-driven marketplace where service providers fill last-minute openings with appointment seekers who need flexibility to book appointments when they need them most.

Whether she’s creating technology or strengthening real-world communities, Anna’s work reflects her belief that community thrives when people feel connected. Through Buddi Brand Inc. and its ventures, she continues to build spaces where connection and opportunity intersect.
