The aim of the Singularity + Sync Digital Wellbeing Global Impact Challenge is to identify and support startups that have a moonshot of solving these issues. What solution do you propose to address the global challenge of social polarization?
We are excited about our partnership with Ithra Sync to host this Global Impact Challenge. Through this collaboration, Ithra Sync plays a crucial role in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship to tackle the urgent challenge of social polarization. Together, we inspire the next generation of future leaders as they strive to create solutions that can positively impact billions of lives.
We received hundreds of applications from all over the world, and we're excited to announce the 10 finalists. These finalists will pitch their startup live in Mountain View, California on November 7th to a panel of judges, and one winner will earn $250,000 for their startup and a seat to the November Executive Program.
Global Impact Challenges (GICs) are targeted, impact-based innovation competitions hosted by Singularity. Since 2010, we've partnered with organizations all over the world to create incentivized competitions that address specific challenges our world is facing. Some challenges are geographically focused, while others are topic focused. Occasionally, they’re both. Every challenge is different based on the goals of the partner, but they’re all designed to identify and uplift individuals and startups that are creating exponential impact in their area.
We're seeking startups with experience in exponential technology, some level of demonstrated market traction, and a readiness to significantly advance their startup.
Intellectual property resulting from a GIC belongs to the applicant(s).
We would love to hear from you! Please reach out to use at info@su.org.
The selection process involves two to three phases, depending on the competition. The first phase entails reviewing all applications to determine 5-10 finalists, while the second phase involves final judging to select the winner at a pitch event.
Singularity + Sync will be responsible for the travel, lodging, and meals of the finalists during the in-person pitch event and the winner at the Executive Program.
If a winner is unable to attend the Executive Program, their seat will be forfeited to the first runner-up of the GIC.
