The Kairos Society under its  Kairos 50 (K50) competition is looking for  50 seed-stage companies that are actively addressing complex global challenges with a market-ready prototype or product to invest in them.

According to Karolina Stawinska, Head of K50 Search Committee at Kairos Society in a statement, “Fearless, ambitious, and entrepreneurial young minds around the world are leveraging technology to build creative solutions to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Millennial founders are not afraid to dream big to create a better and brighter 2017. We want to amplify their impact!”

Stawinska says the organization will reveal these companies at the Kairos Global Summit, where they will unveil their disruptive technologies to the world on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

At last year’s Kairos Global Summit, over 100 investors attended the Kairos 50 showcase, and showcase. She adds that over $350k was invested live at the event, including an investment led by Twitter co-founder Ev Williams and James Joaquin of Obvious Ventures. The top 25 Kairos companies of the past 4 years have collectively raised over $500mm in investment capital, with a market cap of over $2bn.
