Our Vision

We imagine a world in which people think before they speak. We foresee the day when truth comes before profit and chaos isn't monetized. We aims to see a time when people leaarn from the lessons and challenges of other people. That's why PonderOn exists.

Why We're Here

Motivated by the heartbreaking suicide of a 14-year-old girl in Japan during the winter of 2021, we felt compelled to bring peace to our world. We recognized the countless stories that remain unheard, often only coming to light too late. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has the right to be heard, that the truth is known, and that everyone finds their place.

PonderOn Stories

Mini Documentaries

We create mini documentaries that spotlight the struggles of individuals whose stories have yet to be told.

Bullying Doesn't Make You Strong

Here's a story about a girl whose life was cut short after she faces intense bullying from her peers. She was only 14 years old and never got a chance to tell her story.

We Share Stories. Your Stories.

Each story is told in the exact way you said it. No words are removed. We believe that your story is something nobody can rewrite for you.

Documentaries are like video biographies.

Each documentary we make tells the untold story of an individual. We take unbiased approaches to the information we share. We respect the dignity of those involved and ensure to remain as close to the original plot as possible. We want you to feel what the individual feels. This is the essence of PonderOn.

Build Communities

Every PonderOn event is a space where stories unfold and lives intersect. Our mission is to bring together individuals who seek more than connection: they seek belonging. These gatherings are designed to spark transformation, forge friendships, and move people closer to purpose by surrounding them with a community that sees them, hears them, and walks beside them.

Share Opportunities

We believe every person carries a spark that, when shared, can light someone else’s way. That’s why our events aren’t just moments—they’re movements. We invite voices that challenge, perspectives that teach, and ideas that build. At PonderOn, we don’t just listen. We create the conditions where truth is honored, lessons are passed on, and everyone gets a seat at the table.

Showcase Initiatives

Behind every initiative we spotlight is a story that needed to be told. From silent struggles to powerful resilience, we use our platform to lift projects, people, and ideas that are quietly changing the world. Each showcase is a reminder: when the overlooked are finally seen, and the unheard are given voice, healing begins—and a new kind of future becomes possible.
