An experienced financial executive, Jay Zises serves as chairman of A Cap, Inc., an investment management firm in New York, New York. In addition to identifying and cultivating entrepreneurial ventures at A Cap, Jay Zises is an honorary board member at Yeshiva University (YU).
A prominent Jewish institution of higher education, YU recently celebrated the grand opening of its Innovation Lab, a hands-on educational facility dedicated to promoting and supporting entrepreneurial ventures. The goal of Innovation Lab is to provide Israeli-based startups a place to expand their U.S. markets and collaborate with YU’s student body and faculty experts. Known as the “Silicon Heights” of Upper Manhattan, the facility is the result of an innovative partnership between New York City and the State of Israel. A large part of the construction costs was funded through a grant from the New York State Legislature. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in May on YU’s Wilf campus. Dozens of university representatives and members of the surrounding community joined together to mark a new and exciting chapter in the institution’s 100-year history. Officials expect the Innovation Lab to spur new technologies that have the potential to cure illnesses and create new economic opportunities worldwide.
