Alan & Julie Smithson on Dragons’ Den

Alan and his wife, Julie, are Co-founders of Unlimited Awesome — a global AI-powered learning platform built around a personalized AI tutor, an AI course builder, and the 6 Castles Human Flourishing curriculum. Through the couple’s family office, 6ix Ventures, they back founders building the infrastructure of the next era: AI, robotics, biotech, quantum, education, and XR.

Alan co-authored 2030: A Blueprint for Humanity’s Exponential Leap, publishes annual technology predictions, has spoken at TEDx and on stages around the world, and has been featured in Harvard Business Review, MIT Technology Review, Forbes, and The Economist.

Alan and Julie founded the world’s first metaverse company, METAVRSE®, which has delivered over 1000 XR/AI solutions and events for Fortune 500 companies before evolving into a boutique advisory for Royal Families, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and governments navigating AI, XR, quantum, robotics, space, and education technology.

The power couple also co-invented Emulator, the world’s first multi-touch DJ system, with their partner, Pablo Martin. It won DJ Mag’s Innovative Product of the Year, was featured in WIRED and on G4TV, and earned a pitch on Dragons’ Den.
