Million-Dollar Ideas

摘要

The challenge was daunting: Demonstrate that you have a disruptive, scalable idea that can solve a global problem. So were the numbers: 2,506 social entrepreneurs, all under 30, who shared their concepts and results-by far the largest-ever contest of its kind. In the end six finalists took the stage at the Under 30 Summit in Philadelphia on Oct. 6 for our inaugural Under 30 $1 Million Change the World Competition. Each was guaranteed $100,000 from the prize pool created by FORBES and its partners (the Charles & Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, the Case Foundation, the Pratt Foundation, the Keywell Foundation and entrepreneur Robert Duggan). One would get $500,000.
