CREATE opportunity.

The Room is a community of global leaders committed to unlocking opportunities for undiscovered talent, starting in Africa.

“Talent is equally distributed. Opportunity is not.”

We’re tackling this obstacle by identifying the most talented and driven young people around the world, connecting them to meaningful opportunities, and challenging them to solve the world’s greatest problems.

MESSAGE FROM

Our Founder

I believe that those of us who are privileged enough to be educated, healthy, and part of powerful networks should not be doing easy things. The only way to justify our privilege is to do the hard things that society demands of us — to solve tough problems and create opportunities for others. I launched The Room to bring the most ambitious ‘doers’ together to do these hard things that will change the world. I welcome you to be a part of our story and join this global community as we make history together.

Fred Swaniker
