Solve’s philanthropic venture vehicle
The Solve Innovation Future fund is disrupting traditional philanthropic giving with direct catalytic investments in Solve’s early-stage innovators who are using technology to solve the world's most pressing problems.
The rigid expectations of the venture capital community are stifling opportunities for entrepreneurs, especially for those working on solving social problems with non traditional backgrounds. Solve Innovation Future allows these exceptional innovations to scale at their own pace.

“ Winning the MIT Solve award, followed by the investment from Solve Innovation Future, has been invaluable for EarlyBird. As an early-stage company, it granted us immediate credibility, which contributed to successful sales in the school market, winning awards and recruiting employees. Of the total dollars raised through the convertible note closed in 2021, 54% were a direct result of Solve Innovation Future/MIT Solve connections.”
– Carla Small | CEO and co-founder, EarlyBird Education | 2019 Solver and Solve Innovation Future Investee
