The New York Metropolitan Area has thousands of startups, non-profits, creatives, and investors. It has leading research institutions, international development agencies, major corporations, unrivaled access to talent, diversity, capital and supportive governance. We have a responsibility to unlock the potential of these resources to improve lives locally and globally! We elevate entrepreneurs work by helping them build their networks and develop the tools, knowledge, and expertise required to succeed. We run incubators, accelerators, bootcamps, as well as educational programs and workshops. The world watches new economies being built from emerging technologies; we want to make sure people across the metropolitan area can consider integrating blockchain, artificial intelligence, AR, and VR technologies in their work. We’re spearheading a hub-and-spoke system of spaces and communities across the New York metropolitan area - working, learning, and growing together to solve the world’s largest (and smallest) problems through entrepreneurial endeavors! Impact Hub is the world’s most extensive association of social impact communities aligned with the SDGs, represented by more than 100 hubs in more than 60 countries and composed of more than 17,000 entrepreneurs and changemakers. Through Impact Hubs, entrepreneurs and changemakers can give New Yorkers the opportunity to scale across the world- while others access New York for learning, scaling, and capital.
