ThreadMap

A b2b startup to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion and apparel industry. Founded by a Gallatin Alum, we’re developing a modular software system as a tool for sustainability teams to save time and recommend practical solutions for impact reduction. Our system leverages RFID e-thread technology to compile data points along a garment’s lifespan and create accurate and verifiable reports and recommendations.

We were recently finalists in the London Clean Tech Challenge, the MIT Climate and Energy Prize, and the Yale Innovation Summit. We’re currently part of the Venture Well Propel Accelerator and Climate Haven. Come join the early days of our growing team!

Creative Time

For nearly 50 years, Creative Time has commissioned and presented ambitious public art projects with thousands of artists throughout New York City, across the country, around the world—and even in outer space. Our work is guided by three core values: art matters, artists’ voices are important in shaping society, and public spaces are places for creative and free expression. We are acclaimed for the innovative and meaningful projects we have commissioned, from Tribute in Light, the twin beacons of light that illuminated lower Manhattan six months after 9/11, to bus ads promoting HIV awareness, to Paul Chan’s production of Waiting for Godot in New Orleans, and much more. In partnership with a variety of well-known cultural institutions and community groups, we have commissioned art in unique landmark sites from the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Governors Island, and the High Line, to neglected urban treasures like the Lower East Side’s historic Essex Street Market, Coney Island, and New Orleans’s Lower 9th Ward. We are committed to presenting important art for our times and engaging broad audiences that transcend geographic, racial, and socioeconomic barriers.
