Lighthouse MASSIV helps startups make and scale the highest levels of sustainability and social impact through the format of long-term partnerships. By providing teams with competitive incentives and preferential access to partner resources, Lighthouse MASSIV aims to foster partnerships that will touch the lives of one billion people by 2025. Lighthouse MASSIV is designed as a multi-stage competition. At the first stage, five companies meet our advisory board – a hand-picked group of executives and partnership experts and accountability partners from around the world. At the first workshop, both the team and the advisory board will make commitments to one another that form the heart of our program offering. These startups will advance to workshops hosted by design, technology and legal experts picked specifically for their ability to accelerate your partnership efforts. Following this, the advisory board reviews each company’s progress toward their commitments and selects the company who progressed the furthest. The program winner is the company that demonstrates the potential to impact the most people via partnership.
