Phase 3: Take the problem off the table

You’ve poured months of work, research, and passion into your solution. For the winning teams of Xperience, that hard work is about to become a reality. We don't just invest in your idea; we build a company around it.

You've pushed boundaries, innovated, and triumphed in the Xperience Competition. Now, it's time to transform your winning solution into a real-world venture. Welcome to The Founders Forge

This isn't about solutions... .

This is about defining the right problem. Your team will then pitch your chosen problem topic, and through a voting process, the winning pitch will set the stage for the next phase, where teams across the country will then work to solve that very problem.
