Democratizing access to the world's top decision makers so everyone can get a shot at putting their idea into the world!Founder Noor Sugrue, a student at The University of Chicago:“Great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere in the world. But an idea dies without the right resources. Now everyone can have guaranteed, direct access and engagement from the world’s most important leaders. They always said it was about ‘who you know’ as much as ‘what you know’ - we didn’t think that was fair - so we fixed it.” Show less

We believe that the simple act of asking questions can change your life. To have a fulfilling life, you need to be curious – it is what makes us human and moves our world forward. Curiosity is the spark behind every great idea and innovation. Curiosity X will leverage the findings and success of Brian Grazer's #1 New York Times Bestselling book, A Curious Mind: The Secret To A Bigger Life and his latest release, Face To Face: The Art of Human Connection in order to encourage the pursuit of curiosity through authentic human interaction. Our goal is to develop contents and products that encourage young people to tap into their curiosity and take action in order to build the future they want. As Einstein said, “I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious.” Show less
