About Us
Modern society has made extraordinary progress by focusing on technical systems change. We have built powerful tools, and institutions that have improved many facets of human life.
At the same time, we are reaching a breaking point. Our systems are no longer producing the kind of society many of us want to live in. We continue to optimize them without addressing the deeper forces that shape how they are designed, governed, and used.
Those forces are upstream.
Systems are created by people, and people act from their inner foundation and values. To truly transform the systems that shape our society, we must re-emphasize inner transformation as a complement to our ever-growing technical capacity and power to catalyze outer change.
Throughout history, and now increasingly supported by scientific research, experiential and embodied spiritual practice has been one of the most durable ways humans have developed this inner foundation. It does not replace technical skill. It shapes how that skill is applied.
For the first time, technology, if designed and used wisely, may be able to support this inner work at meaningful scale. As outlined in our Spirit Tech 3.0 vision article, recent technological breakthroughs have opened a real opportunity to support inner development in new and powerful ways.
From this perspective, an important question emerges:
Can modern technology support spiritual development and inner transformation at scale, and help humanity move toward greater wholeness and connectedness?
If we take the perspective outlined above seriously, this becomes one of the most important questions of our time. And yet, Spirit Tech remains remains profoundly under-resourced, underfunded, fragmented, and largely invisible to world-class technical and entrepreneurial talent.
The Spirit Tech Foundation exists to change that.
We're launching the first dedicated Spirit Tech fund to:
Seed 100 ventures with at least $1M of catalytic capital each.
Make it as easy as possible for founders to preserve spiritual integrity as they scale.
Build the attraction basin for new talent and capital interested in the sector.
