Enhanced Games • Full-time • New York, NY, US • 5d ago

Join the Movement

The Enhanced Games are on a mission to enhance humanity, redefining the future of sports by merging scientific progress with elite athletic performance. Founded in 2023 by Australian entrepreneur Aron D’Souza, the Games challenge conventional sporting norms, embracing medicine and science to push human potential while prioritizing safety, transparency, and innovation.

Science and technology are recognized as fair advantages, allowing athletes to choose natural or enhanced competition. Setting the new gold standard in athlete health and safety, we mandate state-of-the-art medical profiling to monitor key health markers for all athletes competing at the Enhanced Games. And unlike traditional events, all athletes are paid, with million-dollar prizes for setting new world records.

Funded by leading venture capitalists including Peter Thiel, the Enhanced Games operate independently of taxpayer money, ensuring financial sustainability and innovation. This is the future of sport - where science, athleticism, and progress inspire superhuman achievement.
