Registry
One of our dreams is to build schools that give children with less access to great education the opportunity to use AI and new ways of learning to shape their own futures. We hope to open the first one in 2028.
We truly need no wedding gifts. Your presence and friendship are more than enough. But if this dream resonates with you, you are very welcome to contribute to the project and become part of building it with us.
