PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
“The next billionaires will solve our world’s most urgent needs, create tools to fundamentally transform people’s lives, and will be financially compensated in exchange.”
Through new organizations like the Kairos Society, entrepreneurs are able to bridge the worlds of innovation, government, and industry to overcome many of the barriers they would otherwise face when bringing such disruptive global solutions to market, and in the process create billions of dollars in value.
Ankur Jain, Founder of the Kairos Society
