We believe in a renaissance of humanism that puts curiosity, learning, and creation at the forefront of the human experience. We see technology as an artistic expression of human talent \u2014 in service of other people \u2014 making life healthier, more meaningful, more efficient, and full of variety. As creative beings, we delight in variety. We believe in a world where each person can delight in the variety of her own creation and in the creations of others.<\/p>\n
Such a world can only exist when people are free \u2014 both politically and existentially. Entrepreneurship is the path to freedom, and simultaneously gives people a sustainable outlet for their creative energy.<\/p>\n
There are two pains in life that we believe are the source of most of our everyday suffering: doing work that is out of alignment with our calling, and broken relationships with other people. With entrepreneurship, we can resolve the former, and in Community, we can heal the latter.<\/p>\n
We see education as the entry point for this battle. Rather than talking about education reform, we are actively experimenting with alternative models and formats for inspiring and helping people to pursue a life of intentional, self-directed learning. We envision a world where this style of education starts in kindergarten and continues into old age.<\/p>\n
We see the transformation of education as the essential first step to making science and technology accessible to more people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
