FINDING GENIUS
"We believe the geniuses of human history have disproportionately propelled humanity forward. Talent is isotropic, and we want to give young geniuses in emerging markets educational opportunities to flourish. Since 2015, we have partnered with the most prestigious programs in the USA to find and fund over 160 geniuses to date across math, sciences, writing and music in Asia, Africa and South America. Our vision is to scale these programs across more fields and geographies over the next 10 years and create a thriving alumni community that pays it forward."

INSPIRATION
We were inspired by the story of Srinivas Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan, born in India in 1887, was largely self-taught in mathematics. Despite facing numerous challenges, he developed his unique theories and insights, often working in isolation. His breakthrough came when he sent a letter filled with his findings to the renowned mathematician G.H. Hardy at Cambridge. Impressed by Ramanujan's talent, Hardy invited him to England, where Ramanujan's innovative ideas significantly transformed various fields of mathematics, including number theory and infinite series and was considered one of history's greatest mathematicians.
