At UpStart, we are committed to celebrating and supporting people with disabilities every day. As part of this commitment, Ari Fernandez – our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Justice Manager – developed the Program Accessibility Checklist to help create more inclusive and accessible spaces.
One of our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) Guidestars states:
We are guided by our conviction that accessibility is the highest form of hospitality. Because of this, we are committed to diligently leveraging our accessibility practices for our in-person and virtual gatherings to create spaces of belonging and inclusion.
Hospitality/Welcoming Guests is greater than welcoming the face of the Divine. (Talmud Bavli Shabbat 127a)

Our purpose is to enable entrepreneurs to bring bold Jewish ideas to light. We help them reach Up to people in new ways that are meaningful, more inclusive, and create a brighter future for our Jewish community and the world we share.
