We are inviting European Entrepreneurs from across the Continent to apply to our Summer Institute, where your socially conscious venture can grow and succeed. Europe faces many serious issues today: urban poverty, rising Anti-Semitism, economic struggle. Your venture can help to alleviate these problems, and we can arm you to maximize the economic value of whatever idea you bring to the table.

Excitement is buzzing through the air as the first major preparations for the PT '10 Summer Institute has gotten under way. Steering Committee members met this past Sunday to organize and share their ideas and everyone is ready and willing to contribute their expertise. There is much work to be done but the road ahead has been set and the goal is clear; to have a strong class of Fellows that will impact the Jewish world.

Visit the Institute section of the website to check out the Steering Committee member bios.

The big day has finally arrived. After the six week Summer Institute, the fellows will be pitching their ventures to over 250 guests in Jerusalem.

Tonight, fellows will change the face of the Jewish entrepreneurial community.

We invite you to join us as we livestream at presentense.org/live

In approximately 34 hours, PresenTense Institute 2009 will come to a close with the long awaited Pitch Night. The institute is buzzing with energy, nerves and the occasional pita and hummus break. After six weeks of the refining ideas, skill building, business management and networking, Pitch Night will serve as a launching pad for each venture.

Fellows will pitch their idea to an audience of over 200 Jewish leaders, educators and community members in 15 seconds flat. After the quick pitch, the night will continue with a venture exhibition, where guests will have the opportunity to personally interact with fellows.

As Rebecca Polivy of the Follow Up Network says, "I'm ready, let's do this."
