Why We Created IVY

The next generation of leading minds
is drifting ever farther apart because
of hyper-specialization, and the hollow
nature of the digital, utilitarian and
supercial interactions experienced by
most city-dwellers.
We are combating this trend by creating a Social University that
brings together a diverse range of remarkable people through genuine
in-person gatherings. These create an authentic interpersonal bond
between our members, fostering enjoyable experiences and meaningful
collaborations that ultimately stand to make the world a better place.
