Hunter: The Rockefeller Foundation’s mission has remained unchanged for over 100 years—to improve the well-being of humanity. We believe in the power of evidence-informed decisions to improve social outcomes for all people, regardless of where they live, so that they have equal access to opportunity amid a transition to a modern digital, environmentally stable economy.
Jonathan: Urbantech NYC is a set of programs that helps create whole new industries in New York City, specifically those that use technology to make systems like transportation, buildings, food, and energy better. I work with private businesses to get them to pay more attention to the environmental and social needs that the government cares about. I also work with the government (“public sector”) to build its “innovation muscle”, and learn how to improve the way it does what it wants to do for all New Yorkers.
Sarah: StartOut’s mission is to increase the number, diversity, and impact of LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. We are the champion for undiscovered visionaries in the LGBTQ+ business community. We aim at levelling the playing field so that all entrepreneurs can have a seat at the table, focusing on LGBTQ+ founders.
