THNK is a school and a Home. Together, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs explore how to propel new ideas and movements. We help creative leaders design for scaleability, relevance, and impact with renewed energy and the diverse co-creation.
We imagine and implement broad-scale change in how the world works: human interactions, teams, business models, systems. We help you go forward, beyond what’s possible. This is where it begins.
