Every startup has its origin story. Some started in garages while others started in Ivy League dorm rooms.
MIT Solve’s story may have started in a broom closet in the UN.
On this episode of The Solve Effect, Hala sits down with directors Pooja Wagh, Alexander Dale, and Sara Monteabaro to explore their journeys over a decade of working at Solve. This team has gone from building furniture in an empty office to building a global platform that has impacted over 370 million lives.
Tune in for a conversation all about:
The transformative power of ambition: The Solve team turned an idea into a global platform for social impact. Learn how we went from agonizing over mail merges to running over 100 challenges in ten years.
Leveling up the model: If Solve’s first decade was all about proving how getting innovators the resources they need could lead to incredible impact, then what does the next decade have in store?
A team worth celebrating: Part of the Solve story is a team of people who inspire each other to improve and iterate daily. Learn more about what makes this team so special.
