Clear your calendar - It's going down! PresenTense NYC Showcase kicks off on June 6th, and you're invited to take part in the festivities. Our ten Fellows are committed to creating social impact and transforming theÂ
New York Jewish community through their social impact ventures.
Â
Over the course of the six month Accelerator, the PresenTense NYC Fellows have participated in seminars, workshops, and roundtables to provide them with practical tools to build and scale their venture
under the guidance of coaches and mentors in the community.Â
They have learned from and met leading entrepreneurs, in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sector, who have helped them learn about their experience.
Now it's your turn to see what it's all about.
Â
Be inspired, take action, and exchange thoughts, ideas, and business cards while enjoying some noshes and meeting the community's most progressive thinkers.
PresenTense employs entrepreneurship as a tool to grow local economies, enrich community life and solve critical
issues facing society. Through our community based accelerators, innovation workshops and entrepreneurship
consulting, we aim to make entrepreneurship accessible to all and accelerate social impact in communities across the
globe. Over the past 10 years, we have run more than 70 accelerators and launched over 850+ ventures, in both the US and Israel.
The goal is to equip young Jewish social entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial professionals in NYC with the tools, networks, and resources they need to build and sustain successful ventures that provide meaningful avenues for engagement and impact. The program intends to create a community devoted to inspiring and supporting social entrepreneurship and innovation in NYC, thereby affecting the greater NYC community and the world.
