What Humanity 2.0 does

Humanity 2.0 is a nonprofit "Human Flourishing Accelerator" that operates as a convening platform bringing together mission-aligned stakeholders from the public, private, and faith-based sectors. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Rome, Italy with an additional office in Washington, D.C., the organization identifies and ranks impediments to human flourishing and then works across sectors to source and scale innovative solutions to those impediments. Its core offering is the Humanity 2.0 Forum, an invitation-based mechanism where stakeholders are presented with high-potential solutions to specific human challenges and invited to unite in cross-sector implementation efforts; participation is by request but limited for practical reasons.

The organization is not a technology company and does not disclose a proprietary platform or technical system; the website operates as a content hub with email newsletter signups, Google Analytics for traffic analysis, and embedded YouTube content. The product surface is therefore a human-curated convening and collaboration model rather than a software product. Governance is provided by an Advisory Board chaired by Fr. Philip Larrey, with CEO Matthew Harvey Sanders leading operations, and board members drawn from senior ranks at Virgin Unite, John Templeton Foundation, Google, Cisco, Publicis Groupe, Vulcan, Delos, the Pontifical Oriental Institute, Global Cement and Concrete Association, and ESG News.

Humanity 2.0's business model is nonprofit and not transactional: Forum participation is free for invited stakeholders, no pricing is publicly disclosed, and revenue (if any) is implied to flow through collaborative ventures and Forum participation rather than product or service sales. The organization is GDPR-compliant, governed by Italian law per its Terms and Conditions, and operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range across its two offices.
