Letter
Last year, we set aside $100k to fund some awesome friends working on important problems:
Maxx is growing human brains to cure Alzheimer's. Solomon is tackling extreme heat. Julie is designing the most stable antibodies on the market. If you meet Maxx, Solomon, or Julie — and we hope you do — you'll feel that they're deeply alive.
This year, we want to help more people find that feeling. Here's a nudge (and some $) to join them.
"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." — Howard Thurman.
