Building a community-driven innovation ecosystem as the leading diversity-focused startup accelerator in the New York City metropolitan area. Leverage cultural diversity and the true promise of information technology to eliminate poverty in the United States. Education and entrepreneurship are the vectors employed to achieve this outcome. Our method is to build community-driven innovation ecosystems in places where people do not have access to the resources necessary for investing in their ideas. If underestimated people are given access to create their own innovation ecosystems, they will build scalable, sustainable companies and economies representative of human diversity, and this will lead to a new system and society that will solve humankind's biggest problems.
