About PonderOn
What is PonderOn?
PonderOn is a small organisation working on perspective, resilience, and practical guidance, through a handful of initiatives: Tomorrow, Perspective, Health, and our events.
Is PonderOn a charity?
PonderOn Inc. is based in New York. For questions about our legal or funding status, please write to us directly.
How big is the team?
Small. That is deliberate — we would rather run a few things properly than list many things we cannot support.
Events
How do I attend Ponder 27?
Ponder 27 is pre-registration only and capped at 50–80 places. You request a place, and every request is read by a person before it is confirmed.
Can I speak at an event?
Yes. Tell us what you would want to talk about and who it is for, and we will take it from there.
Do you run events outside Tokyo and New York?
We are open to it. If you can offer a venue, a city, or a community, we would like to hear from you.
Partnerships and involvement
Does sending a partnership form create a partnership?
No. A form starts a conversation. We agree scope and expectations together before anything is announced.
Will you list my organisation publicly?
Not without asking you first. We never publish a person or an organisation as a partner without permission.
How quickly will I hear back?
We aim to reply within five working days.
Health and Project Canal
Is Project Canal available now?
Canal runs today as an iOS app. The web version is in development, and early access will open to a small first group.
Does Canal give medical advice?
No. Canal explains financial and insurance information only. It is not a substitute for speaking to a clinician or your insurer.
Should I send you my medical documents?
Please do not. Do not send medical records or documents through any form on this site.
