Larry Page – Go Big
“Are you working on something that can change the world? Yes or no? The
answer for 99.99999% of people in the world is ‘no.’ I think we need to be
training people on how to change the world. Obviously technologies are the
way to do that. That’s what we’ve seen in the past, that’s what driven all
the change.”
- Larry Page, Google Co-Founder at SU founding conference
Observation - many of our
grand challenges are rooted in
accelerating factors

• Build a 2-bedroom house in 1 ½ days
with 30w of power using local materials
• It is projected to cost less than half of
conventional masonry.
• The approach is already building 8’
walls
• Proof of concept exists, the next step is
to commercialize it
