Reaction is a global organization invested in solving the toughest global problems.
We were founded by over 200 Stanford alumni executives across 47 countries.
Our Mission
To improve a billion lives, within a decade, by scaling innovations that change the world.
Why We Exist
Reaction is creating exponential change.
We are a global team who shares a vision for a world where thought leadership and innovation can change more lives in less time.
Why now? Because more innovations will be created in more countries and industries over the next decade than in the previous 50 years. Many that offer the potential to solve pressing global issues will fail to reach the markets that need them the most.
Reaction was founded by a diverse team of global leaders who united to solve this problem.
A blueprint for helping a billion people:

Our strategy is simple…
We invest in proven leaders with world changing potential and scale their innovations globally.
We call our approach “W250” after the room at Stanford where our story began. A group of accomplished, yet curious, entrepreneurs, investors and executives had assembled there to develop as leaders. It became evident aligning as a community would create advantages.
For entrepreneurs, we amplify the change and value their innovations create by opening the right doors on an unprecedented geographical scale.
For investors, our returns are enhanced by our community. We are changing the vertical of the companies we invest in. By rule - we only invest where our community can influence the outcome.
For executives, we connect them to innovations and leaders throughout the world that are redefining industries – creating an advantage to outmaneuver competition.
Our focus is on leading ventures born out of the Stanford ecosystem, and on sectors that will advance our mission – such as health technology and environmental sustainability.
