We recently visited Pfizer School of Science to speak with Educational Director Giovanna Tomat-Kelly about this unique program at the company’s NYC headquarters that welcomes public middle school students to the world of scientific innovation. Gio and her team do fun, interactive experiments with the students to open up new possibilities for New York’s young minds, including Isaac, who shared what he loved about his visit. 🥼🧪 https://lnkd.in/eqqJTRFm

"The hardest thing that I have learned is saying no to a customer. As a founder, I am trained to always say yes because every conversation is a potential customer sale. But this is a fallacy. I believe that if you say yes to everything, you will excel at nothing." Great insights from Ben Colman, Co-Founder and CEO at Reality Defender, a Partnership Fund portfolio company and 2024 FinTech Innovation Lab grad.

📣 The Partnership Fund is proud to back itselectric, a Brooklyn-born company that is revolutionizing EV curbside charging. By making EV charging more convenient and accessible, they're helping advance carbon emissions reduction and clean transportation goals for New York City and State.
🎉 itselectric, a Brooklyn-based electric vehicle curbside charging company, today announced its $6.5M seed round. The raise was led by Failup Ventures and Uber. With participation from Halogen Ventures, Partnership for New York City, Pulse Fund, Newlab, Gratitude Railroad, Tale Venture Partners, The Equity Alliance, Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) Impact Fund, and The Helm will support deployments across seven cities in the United States in 2024, including Boston, Los Angeles, Detroit, Jersey City, and San Francisco. With fresh funding, itselectric’s curbside charging infrastructure will also help support Uber’s goal of helping rideshare drivers go electric. 🌎 2023 was the hottest year on record with transportation being the third largest contributor of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. But transportation is also a sector where the choice to drive electric will create a collective difference. Our mission is to make charging easy, convenient, and affordable not only for drivers, but for cities, providing the pathway for everyone to go electric. “itselectric has designed an innovative public charging solution that addresses the infrastructural barriers that cities face in the deployment of electric vehicle curbside charging,” said Topias Soininen, general partner at Failup Ventures. “Their thoughtfully designed chargers are a highly scalable solution that will rapidly bring curbside charging to the millions of city drivers who park on the street and contribute to the nationwide adoption of electric vehicles.” "We are thrilled to invest in itselectric as part of our push for an all-electric future,” said Camiel Irving, GM of Uber US & Canada. "Electric rideshare drivers cut emissions up to four times more than regular motorists, but many lack off-street parking and home charging options. itselectric is innovating to address this and expand overnight curbside charging, helping more drivers confidently go electric, ease range anxiety, and boost earnings potential." “itselectric is revolutionizing urban infrastructure,” said Jesse Draper founding partner, Halogen Ventures. “Their mission to bring highly accessible curbside charging combined with economic benefits to urban communities, offers an innovative solution for a problem we need to urgently solve. We’re incredibly excited about itselectric as they expand across cities to make sustainable transportation a reality across the nation” Read the full story in Fortune https://lnkd.in/e7DuKYNf

On July 9, we had the pleasure of welcoming Mayor Eric Adams (NYC Office of the Mayor) to our offices in Midtown for a town hall meeting in collaboration with the Partnership for New York City. The event provided an opportunity for us to hear directly from Mayor Adams about the state of New York City and to engage in a meaningful dialogue on a wide range of topics. In front of a full room, he answered questions from the audience, offering insights into the City's current initiatives and future plans. We are grateful to Mayor Adams for his time, and we remain committed to continuing our work with the Partnership for New York City to contribute to the success and well-being of our great City. #WachtellLipton #PartnershipForNYC #WeLoveNYC
