Ashton Kutcher is a globally recognized actor, tech investor, entrepreneur, and human rights advocate who has built a career at the intersection of entertainment, innovation, and impact. Rising to fame with his role on That ’70s Show and later Two and a Half Men, Kutcher has evolved from Hollywood star into a respected venture capitalist and thought leader in technology and philanthropy.
Kutcher co-founded A-Grade Investments and later Sound Ventures, early-stage venture capital firms that have backed some of the most successful startups of the past decade, including Airbnb, Uber, Spotify, Duolingo, and Robinhood. His ability to identify game-changing technologies and founders has earned him acclaim as one of Silicon Valley’s most influential non-traditional investors. He is a frequent speaker on topics like startup innovation, disruption, and building values-driven companies.
Beyond business, Kutcher is a committed activist. He co-founded THORN, a nonprofit that builds technology to defend children from sexual abuse and human trafficking. THORN's tools have helped law enforcement identify tens of thousands of victims and have been adopted across dozens of countries. His advocacy has led him to testify before the U.S. Congress, where he delivered a powerful and widely shared speech on the role of technology in protecting the most vulnerable.
Kutcher’s leadership is defined by curiosity, compassion, and a deep belief in using platforms—whether media or technology—for positive social change. As a speaker, he combines insights from entertainment, entrepreneurship, and activism, offering a unique perspective on how to scale ideas, build movements, and create sustainable impact.
Whether mentoring young founders, launching purpose-driven ventures, or challenging systems of injustice, Ashton Kutcher represents a new generation of polymath leaders—those who use fame not as a goal, but as a force for innovation and progress.
