Turning Big Problems Into Big Business Opportunities

Want to become a billionaire? Then help a billion people.

The worlds biggest problems are the worlds biggest business opportunities.

Thats the premise for companies launching out of Singularity University (SU).

Allow me to explain.

In 2008, Ray Kurzweil and I co-founded SU to enable brilliant graduate students to work on solving humanitys grand challenges using exponential technologies.

This week we graduated our sixth Graduate Studies Program (GSP) class.

During the GSP, we ask our students to build a company that positively impacts the lives of 1 billion people within 10 years (we call these 10^9+ companies).

Historically if you wanted to touch a billion people, you had to be Coca Cola, GE or Siemens SiemensToday you can be a guy and gal in a garage.

Id love to share with you some of SUs most interesting 10^9+ companies from the past six summers and some of the new ideas presented from the latest class.

Some great SU 10^9+ Companies
