Who We Select

Finding the people who can lead us
through this new age of intelligence.

The Eidverse exists to find the builders, artists, and thinkers who can shape and navigate this historic transition — using imagination, judgment, and humanity — and to give them the reach of a global community.

TL;DR

The Eidverse supports people whose trajectory reflects imagination, responsibility, and purpose. We use technology to search widely and human judgment to choose wisely. Over the next year, we'll spotlight 50–100 individuals whose next chapters will help define what it means to stay human.

Why This Matters

Artificial intelligence is transforming every field — and accelerating everything. The question is no longer what it can do, but who will use it well. The world needs people who can harness this power responsibly on behalf of all of us—combining creativity, courage, and moral clarity. The Eidverse finds those people and gives their work the reach and support it deserves.

How We Find People

We start with the obvious signals—names and programs like the Diana Award, the Hult Prize, World Economic Forum Shapers, and Qimam Fellows—because they make discovery more efficient. But our aim is to move beyond them. As the network grows, technology and community nominations together widen the search. Our systems scan open work—research, startups, creative projects—to spot new momentum. Technology surfaces the signal. People look into it more deeply.

What We Look For

The qualities that matter in the world now forming:

  • Direction – Clear sense of what they're building and why.
  • Range – Moves across fields comfortably.
  • Proof – Has made something that works.
  • Learning Speed – Adapts quickly; uses new tools with purpose.
  • Responsibility – Understands the impact of their work.
  • Resilience – Steady through change and challenge.
The Larger View

AI will make intelligence abundant. What will stay scarce is direction. The next generation of leaders will be able to compose — blending analysis with empathy, design with judgment, data with meaning. They'll feel like modern polymaths: fluent in many tools, grounded in human values. The Eidverse finds them and connects their work to a global support system.

What Selection Means

A statement of confidence, not a prize. Selection means someone's work has been examined through data, context, and human review, and found to represent real progress. Each week we highlight an individual whose imagination and integrity stand out. Our aim is for them to gain access to partners, patrons, and peers who help their ideas reach further.

If someone comes to mind — or if you see yourself in this — tell us. Email community@evqlabs.com with a link to their work and a short note on why it matters.

Every nomination is read by a person. Our tools help us scale, but the act begins the same way: one human noticing another.
