"The PresenTense Institute is an intellectual and professional boot camp. If you have an interesting idea that straddles Judaism, technology, or social change, then the institute is right up your alley. I leveraged the programming to refine and hone the vision of my project so that I could be better positioned for success."

-JT Waldman - Class of 2008 - whose project, Tagged Tanakh, allows anyone from novice to scholar to interact and engage with Biblical texts.

Pitch us your entrepreneurial idea and explain how Cleveland's Jewish Community can help make it happen.

Cleveland's Jewish Community wants to partner with you and get you the training, network, mentorship, access, and community framework you need for your venture to succeed. 

You'll be fully funded by the Jewish Community Federation to spend six weeks at the intensive PresenTense Summer Institute in Jerusalem where you'll connect to a global community and learn from renowned leaders in business, startups, venture capital, education, culture, and more. Return to Cleveland and have your idea incubated by the Jewish Community, complete with a stipend to provide you a runway to launch your idea as well as mentorship from the Cleveland Jewish Community's communal, social, and business leaders. 

Make it happen, and change Cleveland for the better.

Applications are now closed. Fellow announcements will be announced soon!

Here are some examples of entrepreneurs that have made it into PresenTense's Global Fellowship Community. 


This is your unique opportunity to make your idea come to life. 

We hope to see your application soon.
