“ Solve's experience and expertise at sourcing diverse candidates, managing the process from marketing through grant disbursement, and helping to clarify and crystalize a challenge prompt were benefits to contracting with Solve, rather than other innovation challenge processes or running our own open RFP.”

– Anna Talman Rapp, former Senior Program Officer, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Methodology

Our challenges are designed with and for those that they serve. Solve facilitates challenge design workshops, focus groups, and 1:1 consultations with experts to create a challenge that is timely and relevant.

Platform

Solving challenges is hard, but finding the best solutions shouldn’t be. That’s why we created a collaborative, problem-solving platform, built after ten years of research at the MIT Climate CoLab.

Reach

We know a lot of problem-solvers. All of our challenges are widely promoted to our highly engaged audience. We can also tailor promotion to a smaller subset of individuals working within a particular field or demographic, based on your needs.
