- Family history project (distill, understand, and learn from your family narrative)
What's unique about Kore Venture?
We start with you, not your wealth
You need to prepare for responsibilities which you did not choose and perhaps do not want. Rather than begin with your wealth, we first help you to be confident in who you are and to flourish irrespective of your family circumstances. We take you beyond the essentials of financial literacy and family governance to address the realities of living with wealth and influence—realities that too frequently derail young people, fracture families and destroy wealth.
Character, Competence, Community
Kore Venture develops character virtues as the critical foundation on which to build skills to navigate life and manage wealth. We integrate character formation, competence development and community support.
Cultural Intelligence
Emerging leaders from wealthy families are increasingly the product of a blended culture—a fusion of family, ethnicity and global influences which frequently leads to cultural conflict between generations. Kore Venture helps you appreciate your unique cultural make-up and how to interact positively within and beyond the family.
Global Peer Community
Learning from and with peers from around the world, you’ll build special bonds and become part of a global community which is committed to mutual support and encouragement for life.
Intensive Personal Coaching
Kore Venture matches you with a coach for the duration of your experience. This is essential to help you process the many personal questions you will face and apply new disciplines and mindsets.
Nonprofit
Kore Venture is solely committed to your wellbeing and growth. There is no program sponsorship, no vendor pitching and as a nonprofit initiative, no drive to profit from your participation. Any program surpluses are reinvested into program development.
