Praxis Activate:
New York City

Activate is a 1-day event for founders, investors, philanthropists, builders, or entrepreneurial thinkers who have a passion for redemptive entrepreneurship— and advancing it in their lives, ventures, and communities.

We’re looking for leaders who are motivated by their faith to address the major issues of our time.

You will encounter a vibrant community full of imagination and practical examples for pursuing the redemptive way. You will leave with new ideas for how you might pursue your redemptive quest.
