The Inventys

Inventaverse 1.0, a TBA venture philanthropy fund, powers The Inventys at our Crystal Ball of Dodona center stage popup in NYC. Following Inventa's dual debut evolution, the annual showcase:

1. Debuts social entrepreneurs to the Inventians Flock 🦚🕊 (in-person and livestreamed globally) to raise awareness for their impact work and stories, introducing them to our founder Rolodex for further funding.
2. Invited exhibitors compete to be crowned one of five Golden Apples + the Impact of the Year Gold Medalist (judged by the Board of Trustees and STEM Advisory Board), following product, business model, and presentation advisory time given by Inventa in the flesh.
3. Finally, our six crowned baby ducks are backed with a pre-seed check from Inventaverse 1.0 before flying the nest. 100% of tea leaves+ are re-invested to partially scale to Inventaverse 2.0.

Board of Trustees

Our founder-selected Inventaverse Board of Trustees shortlist comprises souls in their next chapter (with a track record of contributions to mission-critical industries/domains and proven, value-added talent). The TBA full board holds elected, renewable, 1Y-appointments, advancing our mission with expertise/connections where needed (fundamentally built for self-sustainability, we don't need outside capital, at least for v1.0). Prospects are welcome to build relationships with us.

CSR Criteria

With exception of 1) inventors curing common, life-impacting diseases or 2) Team Inventians alumni/PENNtrepreneurs advancing educational equilibrium + economic empowerment (E⁴) for homeless and/or +50% < poverty-level populations, we’ll showcase under-resourced citizens of the world dealt with any of the following card stack:

• Born geographically disadvantaged (non-Western world, esp. war-torn economies, or rural America/inner-city where median annual household income <$30k during residency)
• Immigrant/immigrant parent(s) from aforementioned countries
• Orphaned by 18, and/or ward of the state in foster care during final 1Y+ as a minor
• Homeless for <3mos. as a minor, and/or <$50k annual combined parental income during final 3Y+ as a minor (or equivalent ratio, adjusted for non-U.S. cost of living)
• First-gen college student/alum at public institution only, only community college education to-date, or temporary college dropout due to jungle leaves
• Age <23 with zero tech industry, business, or BigCo experience individually, nor in any living family

We believe everyone else (especially an inventor mind) has the adult guidance to pursue education and/or independent study, thereby leading to connections for Orthodox (family and friends) and Modern Orthodox (VC) funding means accessible to them.
