Announcing the NYWSE Pilot Incubator Program!

New York Women Social Entrepreneurs (NYWSE) announces its upcoming Incubator Program for women social entrepreneurs to begin in early 2009.

The purpose of the incubator is to enable budding women social entrepreneurs to bring to life their enterprise concepts, by providing mentoring from leading experts in the social entrepreneurship field, a peer network, and team support.

Entrepreneurs will be matched with a leading female mentor, as well as a female graduate student apprentice (a “junior partner”), creating a three-person team.

The program is currently designed to last approximately 6 months and is open to women entrepreneurs in the NY-metro area who have a clearly defined nonprofit or for-profit business idea to which they are committed. It will include monthly workshops and weekly communication and collaboration with their NYWSE Incubator team.

Please contact NYWSE member Allison Lynch (allison@allisonlynch.com) to express your interest and any special needs or ideas you may have. There will be an information session in the upcoming weeks for those who are interested.
