Out in Tech NY | How I Built This with URBAN-X

September 18, 2019 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” ? Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities.


Out in Tech New York and URBAN-X present a roundtable discussion with LGBTQ+ startup founders and VC’s about the challenges of launching a venture in the urban design space. We’ll also discuss how to create inclusive and equitable workplaces and the importance of solutions that amplify diversity in cities. 


Join us for an exciting discussion about entrepreneurship and inclusive urban design and stick around for the networking social after the panel! 21+


About URBAN-X: In the face of rapid urban growth and extreme climate change, cities and entrepreneurs play a pivotal role in providing solutions for sustainable, resilient, and equitable living. At URBAN-X, our purpose is to empower and invest in entrepreneurs who are reimagining city life. We embrace the challenges and opportunities of city-scale systems by providing an immersive five-month program, during which founders are exposed to customers, city officials, end-users and potential investors. Our definition of success is defined by the capability of our founders to launch and scale their solutions to hundreds of cities, creating positive impact at scale.
