The Relentless Foundation and New York Entrepreneur Week (NYEW) have been formed around a single belief: entrepreneurs change the world.

In less than the span of a year, New York Entrepreneur Week has become a powerful platform and voice for entrepreneurs. From innovative start-ups to seasoned businesses, we have brought entrepreneurs together to be counted as a force of change in a challenging economic climate. With your help, we have catapulted this movement into an event attended by over ten thousand entrepreneurs!

But we’re ready to do more. The Relentless Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit, needs your help to propel the entrepreneurial experience to the next level of national and global events that will unite and inspire all entrepreneurs to make a greater difference.
