Possibilians (first cohort)
-

Kristin Molinari Cohen
My moonshot is to transform women’s health by closing research gaps, embedding prevention and care across life stages, personalizing treatment, and elevating women’s pain to be believed—ending generations of silent suffering.
-

Steffan Bankier
My moonshot is using AI to help people take better care of themselves, think more clearly, and build systems that make life feel less chaotic and more doable.
-

Wendi Ford
My moonshot is to normalize mental health care by embedding trauma-informed education in schools, leveraging AI to personalize emotional learning, and dismantling stigma through global visibility—breaking cycles of abuse by teaching resilience early.
-

John Duffield
My moonshot is to shift healthcare from a system that treats bodies to one that understands the full human journey, using AI to illuminate emotional patterns, predict needs, and build a new standard of whole-person support.
-

Barry Wade
My moonshot is to dismantle the census lie that reduced humans to devalued race-based economics and rebuild marketing on the true intersectionality of life and identity, not demographic fate.
-

Bryan Gaffin
My moonshot is to eliminate poverty in NYC. Poverty sits at the root of every major issue we face here, and I want to do a reverse Robert Moses and strengthen every single block in this city.
-

Fayee Wong
As a certified water sommelier, my moonshot is to make it possible for anyone, anywhere, to access the water their body truly needs with a single click.
-

David Beatty
My moonshot is one person, one vote globally, with shared sovereignty over air, water, earth, and fire.
-

Daniel Magallanes
My moonshot is to reimagine cybersecurity from reactive defense to regenerative security—where every attack and near-miss strengthens the ecosystem, and success is measured by learning, adaptation, and resilience rather than zero breaches.
-

Ben Chan
My moonshot is a fully automated AI sales development agent that understands complex business context and can independently prospect, learn, and find product-market fit.
-

Gabriel Hui
My moonshot is that everyone can discover their hidden talents—the ones the world truly needs—and find the confidence and strength to pursue them, building rewarding careers around what they love rather than staying in work that feels empty just for a paycheck.
-

Nurken Rzaliev
My moonshot is to make world-class entrepreneurship geographically inevitable by designing and scaling repeatable systems that enable globally competitive companies and leadership pipelines to emerge anywhere—turning local successes into durable proof, reusable playbooks, and shared infrastructure that allow ecosystems to compound rather than restart from scratch.
-

Wes Basham
My moonshot is to make Cancer and Poverty as rare and treatable as the common cold—not by managing them better, but by re-engineering the world so they can no longer exist.
-

Amy Givens
My moonshot is to prevent osteoarthritis before it becomes irreversible by enabling the body to repair skeletal tissue during recovery—shifting care from waiting for joint failure and replacement surgery to proactive regeneration for athletes and aging adults.
-

Javince Chan
My moonshot is a world where belonging is easy and judgment-free. Learning anything is effortless. Support surrounds you, guidance is always there, and you can always find someone to teach, guide, give extra hands or share the journey—for building, healing, exploring, caring for loved ones, or simply being. Life is full without nicotine, alcohol, or drugs, and technology frees us from physical constraints.
-

Maura Charles
My moonshot is to end cultural amnesia around women’s contributions by restoring erased voices from history—so culture can no longer be built on forgetting half of humanity.
-

Elizabeth Harrington
My moonshot is to make 'superager' an aspirational identity people claim early - reframing aging as a positive/badass goal worth training/preparing for.
-
Sofia Giannuzzi
My moonshot is to use AI in a way that enhances and innovates on forms of authentic storytelling, rather than replacing the pieces of written language that are most human.
-

Nicole Castillo
My moonshot sits at the intersection of human sense-making and AI: to make collective intelligence visible in ways that help individuals and teams better understand the systems they’re operating inside. Today, people are asked to move faster and make higher-stakes decisions, yet they’re navigating invisible dynamics—misalignment, lost context, unclear incentives—without a map.
-

Gary Tang
My moonshot is to redesign education around lifelong learning, simulation, and networked ecosystems—replacing the myth of the lone genius with scalable systems that democratize knowledge and equip the next generation to solve problems we can’t yet name.
-

Bobby Zipp
My moonshot is to reinvent how families are built by creating new frameworks, systems, and institutions that support families beyond the traditional two-parent household—making it possible for people to form stable, supported families with friends, chosen kin, and broader communities.
-

Jessica Knopp-Gwynne
My moonshot is to redesign the U.S. healthcare system around prevention rather than illness—shifting incentives and investment upstream so continuous diagnostics, personalized risk profiling, and evidence-based lifestyle and environmental interventions become the default. Success would be measured in years of healthy life, not procedures performed, with the goal of extending healthspan while reducing long-term costs and human suffering.
-

Maarten Leyts
My moonshot is to make youth culture a core driver of innovation by actively involving the next generation in co-creating solutions to the challenges they face—so insights don’t just predict what’s next, but help define what becomes mainstream.
-

Sharon Foo
My moonshot is to redesign aging and caregiving by 2050 as a shared societal infrastructure rather than a private burden, so longevity becomes a source of collective resilience and purpose instead of inequality and fear.
-

Noah Kaplan
My moonshot is to build a universal creative infrastructure that allows anyone to move from idea to real-world impact through design, funding, manufacturing, and distribution without requiring institutional access or upfront capital. Creativity is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. By creating shared systems that turn imagination into outcomes, innovation stops being gatekept and starts emerging from everywhere.
-

Marina Peikova
My moonshot is a future where crises no longer destroy lives and livelihoods, because preparedness, early intelligence, and human-centered leadership are embedded into everyday decision-making.
-

Kevin Siskar
My moonshot is to build the capital operating system that gives every builder, (no matter where they start) the same access to relationships and funding that currently only elite networked people enjoy.
-

Tammy Bordeaux
My moonshot is to create films and stories around moonshot ideas that make future possibilities feel real, almost like a shared memory, so we can collectively imagine, resonate with, and ultimately create the same future together.
-

Dave Edwards
My moonshot is to build minds for our minds—AI designed to help us stay human.
-

Brian Richardson
My moonshot is to dismantle car-focused urban design and rebuild cities around humans, creating intentional space for connection, health and everyday life.
-

Nirasha Ramlugan
My moonshot is to rewrite the science of trauma healing by transforming how trauma is diagnosed, treated, and taught. This shifts healthcare from symptom suppression to systemic coherence by recognizing trauma as a multidimensional disruption that spans epigenetic, energetic, genetic, neurological, and biofield dimensions, rather than a disorder of the mind alone.
-

Darra Gordon
My moonshot is a world where every LGBTQ+ person can flourish and experience the unconditional love and joy of family, free from all legal, economic, and societal barriers.
-

Hugo Uys
My Moonshot is connectivity in the wellness space -- connecting esoteric sciences with western medicine, connecting learnings you gain from experts into actionable tools you can actually use in your everyday life. It's creating new daily routines for accessible wellness that moves with your life, not wellness that consumes it.
-

Jen Chamberlain
My moonshot is to extend canine healthspan through divergent models that bridge the gap between genomic potential and environmental aging so our companion animals can live longer, healthier lives while unlocking critical longevity insights for improved human healthspan.
-

Maribelle Orengo
My moonshot is to reform the U.S. food system and culture to eliminate widespread obesity, malnutrition and type 2 diabetes.
-

Anne Vandyck
My moonshot is to help teens become fluent in their emotions by building an app that turns emotional awareness into a daily skill, guiding them to name what they feel, understand their body’s signals, and choose responses they’re proud of. It’s not therapy, but a supportive learning space with simple prompts and practical tools to regulate sooner, respond calmly, and build self-respect.
