ABOUT PETER H. DIAMANDIS

Many people know me as an entrepreneur, technologist, futurist, New York Times bestselling author, TED speaker, and the founder of over 25 companies. But at my core, I’m a nine-year-old with a healthy disregard for the impossible, always pursuing my boldest dreams. As a young boy, I was captivated by the Apollo 11 Moon landing—an event that sparked my dream to explore the final frontier and bring humanity with me. Growing up in a family of Greek immigrants, I was expected to follow my father into medicine. I earned my M.D. from Harvard and degrees in Molecular Genetics and Aerospace Engineering at MIT, and thought NASA was my path to space. I quickly realized it wasn’t and turned to entrepreneurship to transform science fiction into reality. Now, I’ve co-founded and invested in companies across space, longevity, AI, education, and more, all with a core mission to drive humanity forward using exponential technologies. My work has been recognized globally, including being named one of Fortune’s “World’s 50 Greatest Leaders.” My New York Times bestsellers, include Abundance, Bold, The Future is Faster Than You Think, and Life Force. A few of my most notable ventures include- XPRIZE Foundation: Uses large-scale incentive competitions to solve the world\'s biggest challenges. We’ve launched $600M of prizes (30 over 30 years) to spark breakthroughs across industries - Celularity: A cellular therapy company focused on extending the healthy human lifespan - Fountain Life: A company providing advanced diagnostics and therapeutics to extend longevity by detecting diseases early and enhancing overall wellness - Singularity University: A Silicon Valley institution studying exponential technologies and their ability to transform industries and solve humanity’s grand challenges - BOLD Capital Partners (BOLD) & Exponential Ventures (XPV): BOLD is my venture fund focused on biotech and longevity, and XPV focus on incubating AI Startups - Abundance360 (A360): A year-round program for entrepreneurs, investors, and executives focused on leveraging exponential technologies—like AI, robotics and biotech—to drive positive change and leave a legacy At Abundance360 “we believe the best way to predict the future is to create it yourself.” We also believe that “the world’s biggest problems, are the world’s biggest business opportunities”. My A360 community thinks boldly, innovates fearlessly, and tackles the world’s greatest challenges.
