Our Blueprint for Moonshots

X, The Moonshot Factory/January 1, 2010

Anyone in any field can take a moonshot. Not all moonshots have to include a science or technology breakthrough; that’s just what we know best at X. Each of our moonshots sits at the intersection of these three ingredients:

  1. A huge problem in the world that affects millions or billions of people

  2. A radical, sci-fi sounding solution that may seem impossible today

  3. A technology breakthrough that gives us a glimmer of hope that the solution could be possible in the next 5-10 years
