Ariel Beery, founder, PresenTense
Aharon Horwitz, founder, PresenTense
Ariel Beery and Aharon Horwitz know a thing or two about growing an idea from the roots up. As the cofounders of PresenTense, an incubator for social ventures launched in 2005, they have helped to launch over 400 startups in 46 countries by seeking small seed investments, doing multiple rounds of testing, and encouraging “value over image.”
As they wrote in an Op-Ed in Ha’aretz in October of 2007, “The Jewish people can create their own global golden age if they replace the current system of image-driven philanthropy with one based on value-creation and sustainable entrepreneurship.”
