Activate is a 1-day event for founders, investors, philanthropists, builders, or entrepreneurial thinkers who have a passion for redemptive entrepreneurship— and advancing it in their lives, ventures, and communities. 

We’re looking for leaders who are motivated by their faith to address the major issues of our time. 

You will encounter a vibrant community full of imagination and practical examples for pursuing the redemptive way. You will leave with new ideas for how you might pursue your redemptive quest.

You’ll grow as a leader. You’ll learn from active contributors to the Praxis community with expertise in strategy, operations, and leadership who are exemplars of redemptive entrepreneurship.

You’ll strengthen your current venture or build your entrepreneurial capacity. You’ll develop a framework to connect the strategy, operations, and leadership of a venture, designing it to be more effective, high-impact, sustainable, and redemptive for the long haul. You’ll learn more about key early-stage processes—like prototyping and user testing—that you can apply with a redemptive imagination.
