In December 2023, our friend Gary Chou from Orbital came to us with an opportunity to partner. Gary had been awarded a $90K research grant but needed a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to act as a fiscal sponsor to receive the funds. 

We had big plans for hackNY summer 2020. Not only does hackNY pair college students and recent grads with internships at NYC startups, but we also create a full community experience by housing our cohort in a dorm together, matching fellows with mentors, and hosting a variety of tech events and social events designed to introduce the fellows to each other and the NYC startup scene.
