Entrepreneurship speaker Naveen Jain is a serial entrepreneur and futurist who has spent his career building companies aimed at some of the world’s biggest challenges, from lunar exploration to the future of human health. Born in India and educated at IIT Roorkee, he moved to the United States in 1979 and went on to found a string of ambitious ventures, earning a reputation as one of the most imaginative entrepreneurs in technology.
Jain first rose to prominence in the 1990s as the founder and CEO of InfoSpace, which briefly became one of the largest internet companies in the Pacific Northwest during the dot-com era. He went on to launch several more businesses, including the people-search company Intelius and the HR technology firm TalentWise, establishing a pattern he would repeat for decades: spotting a large, hard problem and building a company to attack it.
In 2010, Jain co-founded Moon Express, where he serves as executive chairman; it became the first private company to receive U.S. government approval to travel beyond Earth’s orbit and land on the Moon, with the long-term goal of tapping lunar resources. Six years later he founded Viome, where he is CEO. Viome uses AI to analyze the microbiome and gene expression and translate the results into personalized nutrition, pursuing an audacious mission Jain sums up as “making illness optional.” Together, the two companies capture his range: he is as comfortable talking about space as he is about the human gut.
Jain is the author of the award-winning book Moonshots: Creating a World of Abundance, which carries a foreword by Sir Richard Branson and lays out his philosophy of bold, exponential thinking. He is a trustee of the XPRIZE Foundation and a board member of Singularity University, and he shares his ideas with millions through platforms such as Mindvalley and MasterClass. His recognition includes the Albert Einstein Technology Medal and a place on lists of the people most likely to shape the future of the internet.
As a speaker, Naveen Jain challenges audiences to think bigger than they thought possible. He speaks on the entrepreneurial mindset, exponential technologies, the future of health and longevity, and how to turn seemingly impossible problems into world-changing businesses. Equal parts provocateur and optimist, he leaves audiences convinced that abundance, not scarcity, is the natural result of human creativity, and that anyone willing to ask better questions can help build the future.
Naveen Jain draws on a career of building companies to show how a visionary mindset fuels innovation and lasting success. He breaks down the traits that effective entrepreneurs share, the discipline of thinking boldly, and how to push past the obstacles that stop most people. Along the way, he offers practical ideas for using technology and creativity to take on the world's hardest problems, especially in health and other essential industries.
In this keynote, Jain shows how entrepreneurs can take on the world's biggest problems by combining technology, purpose, and human insight. He shares the strategies he has used to confront challenges like chronic illness, and makes the case that real change begins when bold ideas meet practical execution. He encourages audiences to set audacious goals, use the tools already at their fingertips, and partner with experts to build solutions that scale.
Drawing on his work at Viome, Naveen Jain introduces the science of personalized nutrition and its potential to transform how we think about health. He explains how technologies like RNA analysis and AI read the microbiome and gene expression to deliver individualized dietary guidance, and why understanding your own biology can help prevent chronic disease and improve quality of life. Through real examples, he shows how food can become one of the most powerful tools for lifelong wellness.
Naveen Jain explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare and opening possibilities that did not exist a few years ago. He shares how Viome has used AI since its earliest days to interpret vast amounts of biological data and deliver precise, personalized health insights, and how that same approach can make care more preventive and individualized. He also takes on the bigger questions, examining the ethics of combining AI with genomics and other emerging tools, and what it will take to use that power responsibly.
He also shares how Viome has used AI since 2016 to interpret massive amounts of biological data and deliver personalized health insights with remarkable precision. By demonstrating AI’s ability to decode intricate patterns that drive chronic disease, Naveen shows how this technology paves the way for preventative, personalized care. He concludes by examining the ethical dimensions of combining AI with genomics, telemedicine, and other emerging technologies—outlining a future where AI becomes a catalyst for healthier, more empowered lives.
