NYCE Y mark

Helping 100,000 people move
toward financial independence.

A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER
Philip Michael

The mission has always been bigger than the business.

For years, I've believed that wealth creation should not be a privilege reserved for a select few.

I've committed my own time, resources, and capital to that belief, building communities, creating educational opportunities, and advancing initiatives designed to expand economic participation.

From entrepreneurship education and community events to innovative approaches to ownership and financial empowerment, our work has always been guided by a simple conviction: opportunity changes lives.

Until now, this mission has largely been carried by me personally. That was never intended to be the permanent model.

Today, through NYCE Foundation and our fiscal sponsorship with Social Impact Fund, we're opening the mission to others who share that conviction.

Our ambition is to help 100,000 people move toward financial independence.

If you believe in what we're building, I invite you to join us.
