Harnessing the Power of Human Creativity and Technology
We’re investing in the next generation of dreamers and doers.
Our Opportunity
Innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning have disrupted how humans work, engage, and create. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to dream bigger than ever before. Dream Purple was founded by storytellers who believe in the innate power of human creativity, connection, and communication.
Dream Purple is a nonprofit social venture that convenes, connects, and catalyzes the work of creatives, technologists, and social entrepreneurs. We are committed to designing a future of work where human creative potential is augmented, but never replaced, by AI.
Our Mission
Our Approach
Here’s how we are working to realize our vision for a world where we value and invest equally in humanity, creativity, and technology.
Curate impactful events and content experiences.
We center and celebrate the ideas, research, and contributions of our global community through engaging virtual and in-person events. Dreamtopia, our biggest annual gathering, spotlights thinkers, designers, and builders working at the intersection of creativity, technology, and social impact.
Catalyze innovation within organizations.
We embrace the power of artificial intelligence to augment human creativity and to help us work better and faster. Our signature program, the Dream Purple Fellowship, gives emerging creative professionals the access and opportunity to grow their technical skills and partner with industry leaders to solve real-time communications, branding, marketing, and design challenges leveraging the power of AI tools.
Convene the brightest minds to design a better future.
We’ve assembled a global council of creative technologists and social scientists who are transforming how we tell stories, connect with each other, and communicate what matters. We keep a pulse on global trends and share what we are learning in real-time through our multimedia content series, articles, and events.
Our Programs
Our signature program is a hybrid fellowship that matches early career creatives and technologists (ages 18-25) with established leaders and organizations. Each year we select a diverse and geographically dispersed cohort of fellows to engage with leading-edge thinkers, designers, and builders working at the intersection of creativity, technology, and social impact to catalyze innovation within their host organization.
Dream Purple Fellowship
We are the future home of a fund that will support established creative professionals working in the nonprofit and social sector to upskill and upgrade the technology capabilities of their teams and organizations. Our goal is to help organizations leverage the full power of AI innovation to tell human stories and mobilize change on issues that matter. We invite you to invest with us.
