The Inventys

Inventaverse Foundation 1.0, is a stealth-mode venture philanthropy launchpad, powering The Inventys at our crystal ball center stage popup in NYC. Following Inventa's dual debut evolution, the annual showcase:

Debuts social entrepreneurs to the Inventians Flock 🦚🕊 (in-person + livestreamed globally) to raise awareness for their migration stories/impact work, for follow-on funding.
Crowns exhibitors competing for one of five Golden Apples + the Impact of the Year Gold Medalist (judged by the Board of Trustees + STEM Advisory Board), following product, business model, and presentation advisory time under the wings of Inventa in the flesh.
Backs the six crowned ducklings 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.

Our founder-selected, Inventaverse Board of Trustees shortlist comprises souls in their next chapter (with a track record of tangible contributions to mission-critical industries/domains and proven, value-added talent). The TBA full board holds renewable, 1Y-appointments, advancing our mission with strengths/connections where needed. Prospects are welcome to build relationships with us.

CSR

With exception of 1) inventors curing common, life-impacting diseases or 2) PENNtrepreneurs/Team Inventians alumni propelling educational equilibrium + economic evolution (E⁴) for homeless and/or +100% < U.S. poverty-level populations/equivalents, we’ll showcase under-resourced citizens of the world (the most resourceful) dealt with any of the following card stack:

Born geographically disadvantaged (non-Western world, esp. war-torn economies; or inner-city/rural America 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 of only public institutions, only community college education to-date, and/or temporary college dropout due to jungle leaves
Age <23 with zero tech industry, business, or BigCo experience individually, nor in any surviving family

We believe everyone else (especially an Inventian 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.
