SILICON VALLEY IS IN A CRISIS.


We are living in the most important and transformative time of our lives - Yet our best minds are being wasted on marginal AI wrappers & safe bets.

This is a threat to our civilization.


To combat that, we're hosting Choose Good Quests - an annual summit to gather exceptional talents to build what must exist. 


In 2025, more than 1,500 applied. we accepted only the top 250. Every attendee was handpicked.


In 2026, we are expanding to 400 of the most promising founders & technical minds taking on civilization-defining challenges across robotics, space, defense & ai infrastructure. 


You’ll meet fellow builders, researchers, and founders on ambitious paths, the kind of people who just might change your trajectory. 


The vibes will be legendary.
