We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Albert Einstein

Did someone say "sustainable development?"

We have better healthcare, yet unhealthy people.

We have more efficient machines, yet we use more resources.

We have more renewable energy, yet more emissions.

We have more facts, yet less consensus.

We have more productivity tools, yet we still burn out.

We have social networks, yet we feel lonely.

...

...

...

And we still think the next technology will fix it.

There are deeper drivers behind these issues that our current solutions are failing to address.

About us

Guided by the principles of FUN:

  • F = Fair. It means doing what's best for the system as a whole instead of pursuing narrow goals at the expense of other beings.

  • U = Unique. As similar as all individuals are, everybody has unique perspectives, experiences and skills to contribute to the common understanding and development.

  • N = No bullshit. From individual to global level, challenges are often propagated because we're afraid (or unable) to face the truth and directly address things that need to be addressed. At Bright3r, addressing those things is the whole point.
