Content Inspiration

Every great story starts with a spark. Whether you're a student competitor, alum, mentor, expert, or organizer, your journey with the Hult Prize has the power to inspire. As you prepare your submission, use these questions to uncover the heart of your impact story:

What’s the problem your business or program is solving—and why does it matter to you?
How did the Hult Prize change your path—even if you didn’t win?
What’s one brief anecdote (about a person, place, moment) that embodies your impact?
What’s something people don’t see about being a founder or changemaker?
Who supported you along the way—and who do you now support?
