BetaKit Most Ambitious 2025

Telling the story of what’s possible.

There is a story we tell ourselves. It defines us in comparison with other places. It ignores our achievements and underplays our connections. It tells us great things aren’t possible here.

Forget that story. It’s time to tell a different one.
