THE NEXT CLASS
IS CALLING.
Who’s next?
Who belongs in it?
Submissions for the Dope Thinkers® to Watch Class of 2027 are officially open
They don’t follow the script. They rewrite it.
Every year, Kulur Group recognizes the people who are pushing boundaries, challenging norms, reshaping industries, and inspiring the rest of us to think bigger, bolder, and more inclusively.
They can be entrepreneurs, artists, executives, creatives, scientists, marketers, innovators, community leaders, culture-shapers—or someone creating impact in a space all their own.
What connects them is how they think, what they challenge, and what they do with their ideas.
We’re looking for people who:
Challenge the status quo and aren't afraid to question what's always been done
Bring diverse perspectives to the table
Turn bold ideas into meaningful action
Elevate people, products, categories, experiences, or culture
Create impact within their industry or community
Inspire others to think differently
The Dope Thinkers Who Came Before. They’ve Already Been Changing The Game.
The Dope Thinkers to Watch represent people who aren't simply following trends—they're challenging the way we think about what's possible.
Meet the thinkers who have already earned their place in the conversation.
2026 Alumni
2025 Alumni
The first classes showed us what happens when bold ideas meet action.
Now we're looking for the people who will shape what's next.
Who belongs in the Class of 2027?
