Start-Ups for Social Change is an informal, bi-weekly meeting group facilitated by YaySay.org: an iconoclastic non-profit aimed at empowering individuals as socially-conscious consumers, micro-benefactors and entrepreneurs. After launching the group in NYC at the Brecht Forum we plan to spread in just 3 months to at least 6 other cities, and at equally awesome venues therein.

 

Our goal is to provide a supportive group in which we can all:

- share entrepreneurial ideas with other ridiculously ambitious and idealistic entrepreneurs

- discuss socio-political theory and social praxis

- educate one another about the complex logistics of creating and maintaining legally-recognized organizations: 501(c)3, LLC, sole proprietorship, corporation, S-Corp, B-Corp, etc.

- share resources such as support centers, tech solutions, legal/financial expertise, equipment, social media plugs

- organize fundraising events to get our enterprises going!
