Program Details
The Global Solutions Program (GSP) is an immersive, residential experience at our campus at NASA Research Park in Mountain View, CA. GSP brings together dreamers and inspired solvers with unique skill sets, experiences, and passions, and empowers them to develop moonshot innovations addressing humanity’s grand challenges by leveraging exponential technology and entrepreneurial tools.
Specifically, GSP exists to foster the development of viable startups (for-profit or not-for-profit) that will positively impact the lives of a billion people in 10 years or less. If you attend GSP, you’ll have a remarkable opportunity to learn about exponential technologies and their broader societal implications; grow into global innovators and thought leaders; and build a strong, diverse community of friends for life who share your commitment to solving the world’s biggest problems.
We are looking for applicants with diverse backgrounds, skills, and experiences because we know the world's most urgent challenges can only be solved within the convergence of multiple disciplines and exponential technologies.
How does GSP uniquely prepare me to build a moonshot startup?
The GSP is a highly dynamic and action-oriented experience that integrates learning, skill-building, and networking in the following core areas:
What happens after GSP?
GSP and Global Impact Challenges (the winners of which attend GSP) are entry points to a longer entrepreneurial journey that founders and teams can take with SU. Following GSP, all participants are welcomed into the SU community of alumni and engaged as members of our global innovation ecosystem. Selected teams will also have an opportunity to access other resources and programming through SU Ventures to help them transform their team projects into viable companies, depending on the viability of the team’s moonshot innovation and the commitment of that team to build a startup. Similarly, companies coming out of GSP are welcome to apply to SU Ventures.
If you’re applying to GSP, you have an amazing opportunity to alter the trajectory of your life and career as a founder of a startup. Therefore, you should be prepared for a long-term undertaking that starts with launching a startup around your team project and continues wherever the journey may lead post-GSP.
