Innovation in Education

Open innovation involves adopting disruptive values into traditional structure. Working in collaboration with the best Ivy League and top universities in the USA, EMEA and other renowned institutions worldwide inspires our education-centric approach.

These partnerships allow us not only to educate the future generation of founders and entrepreneurs, but to also build a pipeline of great talent for our global ventures and program teams.
