Come Solve With Us
MassChallenge aims to break inequitable patterns of who gets funding and for what solutions get priority. We push our judges, mentors, and partners to think boldly and alternatively to traditional, Silicon Valley-based modes.
Our community is defined by our pillar stakeholders—founders, experts, strategic partners, and donors—who share in the MassChallenge mission to equip bold entrepreneurs from all backgrounds to disrupt the status quo to create sustainable change.
