History
Kinet-X was founded by Allan Wang, Chauncey Lau, and Adam Abbas - three sophomores at Stuyvesant - in February 2016. That original spirit of innovation, creativity, and courage by a few 15-year olds is one we hold close to today, as none of our mentors are over 19 years old. We believe in the potential and ability of youth - with how fast the world is changing today, teenagers are special in the way they can respond to change and have their capabilities increase exponentially in the 21st century.
