WHY WE NEED TO GO MAD.
Take a deep breath. Change will never again move this slow.
Climate, mass migration, political instability, and technological leaps of artificial intelligence, renewable energy, robotics and more. Physical and virtual worlds colliding. Unimaginable obstacles and opportunities. A pivotal point in time.
Today’s challenges won’t be solved by the same mind-set that created them. Even less so the challenges of tomorrow. Calling for a radical shift of paradigm. We start at MAD and go beyond. Seeing the overlooked. Addressing conflicts. Within and around. Expanding pockets of peace, filling institutional voids. Asking the big questions. Catalyzing exponential impact. Anchored in MAD Entrepreneurs across the world. Sparked through the madness within each and everyone.
We are MAD.

THE MAD MANIFESTO.
We believe in bold visions and courageous dreams. Daring to be conscious, challenging boundaries, manifesting results. Addressing the problems that really matter.
Pushing our intellectual barriers, crafting strategies. Taking responsibility, an active choice of empowerment. Unleashing potential within ourselves, as well as the markets and people around us. We crave impact. We believe in action. Getting shit done.
Knowing that we are stronger together. Knowing there is a spark of madness within each and everyone. We urge you to listen to it. Embrace it. We bring mad people together. To make a difference today for tomorrow. We are a tribe, bound not by geography, religion nor culture, but by a fundamental belief that we can create a world free of poverty, inequality and injustice.
We are MAD. Mad to Make A Difference.
