Corporate Sponsorships

Join us in scaling tech-based solutions that are building a better world for all

We know talent and ingenuity exist everywhere, but the reality is that opportunity does not. This is why we work alongside corporations ready to democratize innovation for a better world for all. Solve has a proven track record of supporting corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals and positioning organizations as leaders in social impact, actors on global issues, and advocates for technology for good.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Pillar Sponsor

Sponsor a core area of focus (climate, health, learning, economic prosperity, or Indigenous Communities) to align with innovators at the forefront of advancing your organization’s industry. 

Prize Sponsor

Sponsored prize funding is awarded to teams that align with a funder’s social impact goals and meet their custom criteria. These branded, unrestricted grants are announced on stage at one of our flagship events in New York City or Cambridge. After selection, Solve facilitates regular calls between prize recipients and funders to support additional partnership opportunities.  


Event Sponsor

Sponsor one of our flagship events, including an annual pitch event in New York City each September during Climate Week, or a program capstone event on MIT’s campus in May. These events convene our community to make essential connections, discuss pressing social impact issues, and showcase tech-based solutions.
