Wisdom Ventures
Building a future of greater human connection and wellbeing
"Attempting to create a just world starts through the internal transformation of individuals.
Though it is difficult, it is the only way to begin."
— The Dalai Lama
Our Vision
It is time for a new paradigm.
Technology and business needs to be in service to humanity, not the other way around.
We invest in entrepreneurs and early stage companies that are creating ways to …
Nurture human connection, not division.
Help heal our addictions, not create and profit from them.
Enable us to live more mindfully, not be a source of distraction.
Support equality and social justice, not economic and social division.
Our Foundation
We are a group of people dedicated to our own personal growth, learning, and healing.
This is our foundation.
We bring together capital and visionary entrepreneurs who share this dedication to the inner life, and who want to team together to create businesses that bring forth the best in humanity.

The Need
While billions of dollars are available to fund companies that enhance addiction and polarization, there are very few resources to those people dedicated to nurturing the inner life and human connection.
We are changing this.
Our areas of focus: Mindfulness, Well-Being & Human Connection
To thrive as a species and address the great challenges of this time, our remarkable outer technological development now must be matched by radical inner development. To do this, we need to invest in a new generation of entrepreneurs dedicated to this mission.
— Jack Kornfield
