The Daring Collective exists to catalyze the creation of ideas and companies that are advancing human flourishing.
No photo apps, social platforms, or shopping sites — these are ventures that are remaking the world by solving problems that threaten to erode the fabric of our society — restoring civil discourse, addressing the rise of addictions, providing new models for education, and inventing better ways to travel, live, and work.
