According to the Buddhist teachings of Yasuhiku Genku Kimura: / “Passion is not something we have, it is who we are as a cosmic destiny. / “When we are our passion, we are enlivened and attract a community that shares our vision . When we are not our passion, we are driven and motivated, leaving us unfulfilled at the finish line of our goal. Nadav Wilf has spent his life building communities and when he heard this philosophy, it dawned on him that passion is the key to building communities that will take action to make a vision a reality. Nadav encourages us all to: /"Find and share our passions freely and often, because we never know who shares them and is only waiting to meet us./"

Nadav has 12 years of experience building, investing in and selling tech startups. Nadav founded Matrix Media Technologies, a leading search engine optimization company, driving millions of visitors annually in search of Fortune 500 and top technology clients. Matrix was acquired in 2009 by GearyLSF, the largest interactive agency in San Diego.
After MatrixMT, Nadav chose to shift his focus to creating impact in the world and founded Enlightened.org, a platform for companies to integrate philanthropy into everyday life. After Enlightened ran out of funding, Nadav joined Peter Diamandis, founder of the XPRIZE Foundation, as Chief Possibility Officer and partner in HeroX. HeroX is a spin-off of XPRIZE and the leading incentive challenge platform.
