CNN Loves Us!

Hey Readers,

I have some exciting news for you all. In my last post, I wrote about the success of X PRIZE Foundation's annual Visioneering Event. One of the attendees of the weekend event was Ali Velshi, from CNN News. Since the event, he has interviewed Wendy Schmidt about the Oil Cleanup X CHALLENGE, and the clip aired on CNN a few days ago! Check it out HERE.


Ali also spoke on CNN about incentivized competitions, and how they spark innovation. For that clip, click HERE.

The videos are definitely worth watching!

More soon,
Alex at X PRIZE

    Thank you Wendy Schmidt for funding this very important contest. I wish there were more philanthropists out there like you.
