About Genius
What’s House of Genius all about?
The goal of House of Genius is to assemble interesting, diverse groups of people to focus their collective creativity and experience to explore, discuss and solve important problems of entrepreneurship. We hold evening sessions once a month in cities around the world.
What happens in a typical session?
What’s with all the mystery?
First names only at the start. House of Genius works best when we have a diversity of perspectives and where people candidly share their ideas freely and without filtering or ego. We ask attendees to refrain from disclosing their backgrounds at the start of the session so that ideas are accepted at face value and to encourage everyone to contribute equally. We don’t announce the attendees or presentation topics in advance; it’s a simple way to guarantee creative thinking, honest feedback and fresh ideas. Our format encourages attendees to lend their unique insights to problems that may be outside their fields of expertise — a crucial ingredient to gain novel perspectives and create innovative solutions.
Is this a networking event?
Yes, networking happens, but introductions come last once you’ve already come to understand how the others think. The super-committed refer to that portion of the program as the “reveal.”
How can I attend?
What if I want to present?
What if I want to sponsor or start one in my city?
House of Genius is a globally vetted, organically grown organization. Please email Jacqui at hq@houseofgenius.org about your interest. We’d be glad to start a conversation about how to bring this community service to your city.
