The Founder's Lens

What does it take to see an opportunity where others see a challenge? What do we do when the path to success is paved with failures? How do we take an idea and make it a movement?

At TEDxIIBS 2026, we invite you to see the world through the eyes of a founder and experience entrepreneurship, leadership, innovation, and vision, like never before.

The Founder's Lens is an exploration of the entrepreneurial mindset—a look at the thought process behind some of the most innovative ideas, products, and services of our time.
