yCITIES Information

CHANGING THE FACES OF INNOVATION yCITIES (Creating Impact Through Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Sustainability) is pushing the boundaries of where innovation can flourish, the perception of what ingenuity looks like, and who has a seat at the entrepreneurial table. We focus on creating a strong and diverse pipeline of tomorrow’s founders and investors, while also creating spaces for today’s entrepreneurs who natively understand the problem they’re addressing. By breaking down silos, cultivating open-minded thinkers, and bridging seemingly disparate communities, yCITIES fosters an entrepreneurial ecosystem from middle schoolers and beyond that blurs the lines between students and subject-matter-experts (for on any given day, we can be both).
