The education system has not fundamentally changed in 400 years. We still design schools for an era when information was scarce, when memorizing facts was power, when doing what you were told was the path to success.

That world is gone.

Today, information is infinitely abundant. ChatGPT can transfer knowledge better than any lecture. The differentiator is no longer how quickly you consume information, but whether you know what questions to ask. We have optimized education for recall when we should be optimizing for discernment.

A small group will learn to direct intelligent systems. Everyone else will depend on them without understanding how they work. The next great divide will not be digital access. It will be intellectual agency.

We are not building the next Y Combinator. We are not hunting for unicorns. We are building something different: an accelerator for high school students to pursue their passions, grow through real challenges, and articulate their dreams as startups.

We do not expect billion-dollar exits from our programs. But in 5-10 years, when our alumni are deep in their careers, leading teams, launching ventures, and shaping industries, that is when the seeds we plant will flourish.

We are the step before recognition. We plant the seed in Asia for them to succeed as they go global, for university and beyond.

The world is obsessed with making AI think like humans. We are more interested in helping humans learn how to think in the age of AI.

The next breakthrough will not be a new model. It will be a new mindset.
