Singularity grp. was co-founded in 2008 — a collaboration between entrepreneurs Peter Diamandis MD + Ray Kurzweil. The group aims to inspire the next generation of leaders — students, creatives, scientists, researchers, technologists, and business executives — to create products, programs, and companies that have impact. The goal is to positively affect 1 billion people within 10 years.

The name Singularity is taken from a concept that Ray Kurzweil uses to describe a future point in human history. The singularity is a period of time — in the near future — when computers become so capable that their abilities will rival or surpass humans.
