#10yearsofSolve

Ten years ago, we launched Solve on a simple bet: the best solutions to global challenges are out there —and it’s our job to find them, fund them, and help them scale.

Since then, we have run over 100 challenges and received over 30,000 applications from 190+ countries. We have forged over 1,000 partnerships and mobilized over $85 million in funding to 470 solutions poised to scale. Those solutions (and the Solvers behind them) are now reaching over 430 million lives across the globe.

Ten years in, and we're just getting started...
