Communitas of New York
The Communitas of New York podcast invites our listeners and partners to join us in witnessing community-driven innovation. We highlight the constellation of stories generated by alumni of the Communitas Ventures Accelerator Program, which has been running since 2018. Together, we explore how these founders—in the sectors of education, food security, housing, materials science, health, and the arts—navigate the challenges of accessing the right resources at the right time, staying true to their respective visions, and best managing potential! We welcome you to tune in as host Monique T. Marshall, founder of Black to Business and a proud Communitas Ventures alumna, leads rich conversations, uncovers tales of trials and successes, and reaps valuable advice from our entrepreneurs who are shaping New York’s landscape of innovation.
