The PresenTense Group was a platform for social innovation for Israel and the global Jewish community founded in 2005 by Ariel Beery and Aharon Horwitz, and ultimately merged into UpStart in the United States in 2016,[1] and Appleseeds in Israel in 2023.[2]
PresenTense was originally founded as a publication for young Jewish adults, sought to revitalize Jewish culture and explore innovative ideas for the community. This initial iteration, known as PresenTense Magazine,[3] evolved into the Institute for Creative Zionism in 2007, shifting focus to a six-week summer program in Jerusalem.[4] The program brought together young hackers and activists to develop creative solutions for social challenges.
By 2008, PresenTense had transformed into a comprehensive social enterprise with the launch of its social entrepreneurship accelerator programs. Between 2008 and 2023, PresenTense helped launch over 1500 social ventures in the United States[5] and Israel[6] across Jewish, Arab,[7] and Bedouin society in Israel,[8] with special programs focusing on the needs of people with disabilities,[9] Ultra-Orthodox women,[10] and other socially marginalized communities.
