Founded by Young Sohn and Bill Tai, The Extreme Tech Challenge is the world’s largest social innovation startup competition.
The nonprofit organization is devoted to elevating the next-generation of entrepreneurs creating new technologies and innovations to benefit humankind.
Inspired by the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), XTC supports and showcases the innovators harnessing the power of technology to address the greatest challenges facing humanity and our planet. Through its global startup competition, XTC provides top contenders the potential for global visibility, the ability to raise capital, network with global entities (corporations, VCs, partners), and gain mentorship opportunities they need to pioneer technological breakthroughs and help power a sustainable future.
“XTC is the world’s largest social innovation startup competition and is an incredibly fitting forum for the leaders of tomorrow to be able to unleash their full potential”
