About Singularity University

FOUNDED BY FUTURISTS

Founded in 2008 by renowned futurists Ray Kurzweil & Peter Diamandis, Singularity exists to help individuals, organizations, and governments transform the way they lead, think, and create the future.
We're focused on the convergence and application of exponential technologies to deliver business and societal value.

Pairing this perspective with our tools and frameworks gives leaders a new mindset and lens to see the world through.
