Join Parsons School of Design’s Entrepreneurs Lab, in partnership with The Impact Entrepreneurship Initiative, for the first-ever Narwhal Tank, a unique venture pitching event designed to showcase The New School’s most impactful student and alumni ventures from across our ecosystem that are addressing pressing social and environmental challenges.

Developed to create more just and verdant societies, come to support our budding entrepreneurs, give audience feedback, and help vote on the awardees “most likely to create impact.”

ORGANIZERS:

Parsons ELab: Founded in 2014, Parsons Entrepreneurial Lab is a design-led research lab dedicated to innovation and entrepreneurship. Nurtured within the School of Design Strategies, the ELab is a co-/post-curricular experience that caters to The New School’s students and recent alumni from all programs. It provides entrepreneurial education, events, research, and support mechanisms to create a more just and verdant society.

Impact Entrepreneurship Initiative: The mission of the Impact Entrepreneurship Initiative (IEI) is to promote a shift in the practice of organizational formation and collaboration from extractive to generative values. The fellowship brings together a unique cohort of graduate students through a curricular program where we develop entrepreneurial skills and ways to employ inclusive design approaches to bring about innovation worldwide.

We thank our sponsors Designity (a past Elab fellow) and Capgemini for their generosity and support.
