History

Genius Group was founded in 2002 when Singapore-based entrepreneur, Roger James Hamilton created the Wealth Dynamics system as a personality profiling tool for entrepreneurs to discover their strengths and weaknesses, and build an entrepreneurial team.

From 2012 to 2015, Genius Group developed a number of initiatives under the Entrepreneurs Institute brand. This included the Global Entrepreneur Summit, Talent Dynamics, and a full entrepreneur system to grow from start-up to the first million dollars in revenue called “The Millionaire Masterplan”.

In 2020, Genius Group made a string of acquisitions to strengthen its entrepreneur education offerings. In July 2020, Genius Group Ltd acquired Entrepreneur Resorts for $32 million, with the existing shareholders exchanging their shares in Entrepreneur Resorts for shares in Genius Group Ltd. While Entrepreneur Resorts is still a public listed company on the Seychelles MERJ stock exchange, it is 98% owned by Genius Group Ltd.

Genius Group Ltd entered into agreements to acquire Education Angels, E-Square, Property Investors Network, and the University of Antelope Valley with acquisitions closing on or soon after the company’s IPO.

On 12 April 2022, Genius Group had its IPO on NYSE American at an IPO share price of $6.00, issuing 3,763,636 ordinary shares, including 490,909 ordinary shares issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, and raising $22.5 million.
