The power of

A new system of funding, training and mentorship for founders building cultural breakthroughs

Talent x Opportunity

Technology and culture are two of America’s enduring exports. We’ve nearly perfected the art, science, and business of scaling technological breakthroughs, but the ecosystem for cultural breakthroughs is much less developed. The Talent x Opportunity Initiative (TxO) is a step in that direction: a system that discovers and supports cultural geniuses who have the talent, drive and ideas to build breakthrough companies, but lack the networks and resources to do so. TxO is designed to help these entrepreneurs build durable, successful companies around their cultural innovations. Learn More About TXO
