One of the questions we\u2019re hearing is people wondering how to know if a company is Transformative Tech. Here\u2019s how we look at it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What problem are you solving?<\/li>\n
  2. Are you using exponential tech to solve that problem?<\/li>\n
  3. Or, what specific method of change within tech are you using to solve that problem?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1) What problem are you solving?<\/h1>\n

    You are making Transformative Tech, if you are using technology to help humans:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Reduce stress, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, and fear<\/li>\n
    2. Develop strong self-awareness, resilience, sense of happiness, and social skills and emotional wellness<\/li>\n
    3. Embody purpose, surpass self-actualization, increase joy, increase calm, or elevate consciousness<\/li>\n
    4. Expand mental and emotional intelligence<\/li>\n
    5. Experience transformation and deep connection<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If your tech product supports mental health, wellbeing or joy \u2014 or any exploration inward to improve the human experience \u2014 it is Transformative Tech.<\/p>\n

      If your tech product is helping people Get Future Ready by teaching social-emotional skills or deepening self-awareness and emotional self-regulation \u2014 it is Transformative Tech.<\/p>\n

      If you are a neuroscientist, behavioral scientist, or engineer using technology to address these areas \u2014 you are making Transformative Tech.<\/p>\n

      2) Using Exponential Technology to support human possibility.<\/h1>\n

      You are making Transformative Tech, if you are using exponential tech in the following ways to solve problems in #1 [this list is not exhaustive]:<\/p>\n
