Apply to be a 2016 Beespace Fellow
Want an immersive experience working with startups in the social good sector?
Beespace, New York City’s premier nonprofit incubator, has an opening for a new Fellow to work with Heat Seek, one of the start-up organizations currently in incubation at our north Chelsea loft. Heat Seek works at the intersection of innovative technology and tenant advocacy to provide new tools in the fight to maintain affordable housing in New York City. Heat Seek’s work is grounded in a deep respect for community organizers and on-the-ground advocates (heatseeknyc.com).
The term for this round of Beespace Fellows is December 2016- December 2017, 20 hours per week, with a monthly paycheck of $2,100 plus a health stipend.
Beespace was created to launch organizations through a new practice of innovation. The Beespace innovation practice equips start-up founders to make better decisions at the toughest points in their journey from idea to launch to impact — decisions that are better for themselves, better for their organizations, better for their sector, and better for the people whose lives they are driven to help change.
Now midway through its second cohort, Beespace has enshrined patient capital, rigorous experimentation, emotional intelligence, and true sustainability at the center of its incubation model. We offer a two-year developmental curriculum aimed at helping founders build their own compasses for navigating the inevitable detours, distractions, and shortcuts that mark so many start-up journeys.
Beespace Fellows work side-by-side with the start-up founders in residence at Beespace, for 20 hours each week. Each Fellow is matched with one founding team upon hiring, and contributes to all aspects of developing their start-up organization for the duration of their incubation term — from program design, to prototyping, to piloting and organizational development.
Beespace Fellows also are key collaborators with the Beespace management team, embedding the Beespace DNA of experimentation and peer learning into their start-up team’s daily experience, and building community as part of their daily practice.
Beespace is committed to building community inside and outside of our incubator experience. We work to foster a culture and practices of purposeful inclusion, and are seeking Fellows candidates that represent diversity across age, race, sex, ethnicity and national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial means, education, and political perspective.
