“In November 2016, UpStart agreed to merge with two New York-based non-profit organizations, both of which had similar missions - to serve as the central resource for Jewish innovation. The newly envisioned UpStart included Bikkurim and Joshua Venture Group, along with the current U.S.-based programs of PresenTense. The four organizations provided the Jewish communitys leading support services for innovators and organizations looking to tackle todays Jewish challenges with new ways of thinking, and to create meaningful access points to Jewish life. Through this consolidation, UpStart has leveraged the best of each organization to house all innovation resources under one roof - delivering a comprehensive, streamlined suite of high-quality services to entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and communities pursuing Jewish innovation. UpStart is the surviving organization. The merger was approved by the States of California and New York, with an effective date of July 1, 2017. The net impact of the assumption of the assets and liabilities of the merged organizations was $132,134, recorded as a contribution on the Statement of Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2018.”
