The NYWSE Incubator Friendraiser marks the successful conclusion of the NYWSE
Incubator <http://www.ywse.org/nywse-incubator> program. Join us in
celebrating the first co-hort of NYWSE Incubator participants, including the
selected social entrepreneurs, their apprentices, and their mentors.

Diana Ayton-Shenker, Founder & CEO of Fast Forward Fund
(FFF)<http://www.fastforwardfund.org/>,
a youth-investing-in-youth social venture fund, will speak on the importance
of investing in young social entrepreneurs--particularly women. The NYWSE
Incubator is an FFF Pipeline Partner.

Six budding women social entrepreneurs were selected from a competitive pool
of applicants to participate in the NYWSE Incubator. The entrepreneurs were
assigned a female mentor and a female apprentice. The teams worked for six
months to realize the entrepreneurs' social ventures with the support of
workshops, resources, classes, coaching, and pitch opportunities. How did
they fare? Come find out!
