the princeton social entrepreneurship initiative
venturing towards a better world, together
Conferences:
East Coast Startup Summit + TEDxPrincetonU
​
PSEI's conferences bring social innovators from all around the world together on Princeton's campus, providing a supportive and collaborative environment for young entrepreneurs to be inspired, share ideas, connect with peers and professionals, and present a united student interest in engaging in social entrepreneurship.
Competitions:
TigerLaunch + Princeton Pitch
​
Competitions provide unique opportunities for mentorship, financial support, and feedback for budding social entrepreneurs. In the fall, we co-host Princeton Pitch with the E Club for students who give an elevator pitch for a venture idea. In the spring, we organize the "social track" for TigerLaunch, a business plan competition in which student teams present a fully fleshed out venture proposal to a panel of professional judges for seed money.
Trips
​
From meet-ups with NYC-based social entrepreneurs to attending social e conferences around the country, PSEI Trips are intended to provide Princeton students with the opportunity to expand their networks, become exposed to new ideas, and gain an on-the-ground understanding of how the social e ecosystem works.
Dell Social Innovation Challenge Cohort
​
The Princeton University DSIC Cohort brings promising young social entrepreneurs together on a regular basis to workshop ideas, discuss challenges and opportunities, and collaborate on skills building. As each team or individual entrepreneur enters the DSIC process, the cohort community is there as a support system.
