About RethinkX
We produce impartial, independent research on global technology disruptions to accurately predict system change and guide humanity to an age of superabundance and freedom.
Our Funding
RethinkX is a US 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit organization.
Impartiality and independence are fundamental to what we do and how we work.
Our core funding is from our founders James Arbib and Tony Seba, and from Tellus Mater, an independent philanthropic foundation founded by James Arbib that is dedicated to exploring the impacts of disruptive technology and its potential for solving some of the world’s most challenging problems.
We also receive philanthropic grants and donations from foundations, organizations and individuals who support our work and mission.
We sometimes engage on a fee basis for groups that wish us to help them better understand and apply our work to their context, and this can include paid speaking events, consulting services and software licensing.
We also accept funding to help accelerate research projects that are in our pipeline that may be of interest to an individual or group. However, we do not undertake any commissioned research (except where it is applying our existing work to a specific region or context).
While we provide many of our publications for free online, we receive royalties on the sale of these and our non-free books where they have been purchased through a retailer.
If you would like to financially support us and help scale the breadth, depth and impact of our work, we would love to hear from you.
[The RethinkX authors] really nailed it...Whether all that can happen as fast as they say is another matter. But it might.
It is, of course, just one of many visions of the future, but it’s a thoughtful one, and quite a bit of it rings true.
