A gathering of PMINYC Project Managers and FSF Accelerator Grant applicants

This event is continuation of the partnership between PMINYC chapter members and the Fashion Scholarship Fund. Our goal is to prepare early-stage startups for success through a year of expert mentorship and a grant of $50,000 through a “Day of Service.” PMINYC chapter members will have an opportunity to coach and guide Accelerator Grant program applicants through starting their own businesses. Each entrepreneur will be paired or grouped with PMPs according to the following topics:

• Scaling the business
• Digital innovation
• Establishing policies and procedures
• Sustainability practices
• Organizing talent
