What we’re about
The current operating system for success is burning us out.
In Silicon Valley, we're building the future, but the pace and pressure are taking a toll. We see it everywhere: brilliant teams facing burnout, leaders struggling with retention, and a pervasive anxiety that separates our work from our well-being.
What if we could build something better?
What if we could create a new blueprint for success—one that is more innovative, more sustainable, and fundamentally more human?
Welcome to The Human First (1st) Initiative.
We are a new coalition of founders, leaders, innovators, and creators who believe that the greatest challenges in our businesses and our lives are not technical problems, but human problems. The solution, therefore, must be human first.
Co-founded by HumanOp Technologies and Insuring Impact, this movement is built on a powerful, holistic belief:
True, sustainable success is achieved only when we align our authentic human nature with the wisdom to protect and fund our impact.
This is a community for those who want to:
LEAD DIFFERENTLY:
Move beyond burnout culture to build resilient, people-centric organizations that attract and retain top talent.
INTEGRATE, NOT BALANCE:
Stop separating work from life, and purpose from prosperity. We explore the intersection of unlocking your authentic potential (the "OS Upgrade") and securing your financial legacy (the "Impact Protection Plan").
CONNECT AUTHENTICALLY:
Join a network of peers for candid, collaborative conversations—not just another networking mixer. We tackle real challenges and co-create real solutions.
BUILD THE FUTURE:
Be part of a movement to redefine success in Silicon Valley, creating a ripple effect that impacts our entire industry and beyond.
Our events will be a mix of expert-led roundtables, interactive workshops, and open forums designed to give you actionable tools and a powerful support system.
If you believe it's time to build a future where both people and progress can thrive SUSTAINABLY, you've found your community.
