The mission of Joshua Venture Group is rooted in the concept of a dual investment — in visionary leaders and in groundbreaking ideas. We believe that the cultivation of both leaders and the enterprises they seek to build has that much more potential to profoundly impact the Jewish world and the world Jewishly.Joshua Venture Group invites the next generation of Jewish social entrepreneurs to the communal table to achieve their visions for social impact. Through our intensive two-year Dual Investment Program, emerging leaders gain the skills, resources, and exposure to enable them to grow and sustain their ventures, as well as to complement the existing mainstream Jewish infrastructure.
