Organiser Reactor
Organiser of Reactor Global Demo Day 2022
Reactor School (www.reactor.school) exists to develop the next generation of startup leaders with character and caliber, who will lead by serving and serve by leading. Our alumni use technology as a force for good, and join or build startups that create lasting, positive impact.
We believe that the world's biggest problem is that there are not enough young people solving the world's biggest problems. We are certain that the problems of the future will not only be more complicated, but also more complex, and that startups are a potent answer to address these issues. We trust that the youths of today stand a better chance at building their tomorrow when equipped with an entrepreneurial mind, and armed with a founder's spirit. We exist to enable young people to connect the dots going forwards, create lasting positive change, and in so doing, contribute to society and humanity.
We nurture #PeopleFirst, we empower our students to #MoveFast, we challenge them to #BeBold, we ensure that they #HaveFun, and we excel to #BeAwesome.
Our mission is to Cultivate the Galaxy's Best Young Founders.
