Our Mission
Pursuit creates economic transformation. Not incremental progress. Real, tangible change in our Builders' lives.
By training low-income adults to launch and advance careers in the age of AI, we help them go from earning $18,000 to over $94,000 starting salary on average, adding an estimated $2M in lifetime earnings.
Since 2013, Pursuit has created ~$1B in total lifetime wage gains, creating lasting economic mobility that spans generations.
Transformation Stories
Every Builder who walks through our doors brings sweat, grit, and goal. What they leave with is a career that doesn't just change one life, but a family and a community's sense of what's possible.
These are the people who made it. And everyone they brought with them.
Previously...
We celebrated Pursuit Bash 2025 at The Glasshouse NYC for an evening that was equal parts celebration and conviction.
We honored Chris Lyons of a16z, Andrew Kimball of the NYC Economic Development Corporation, and Vrinda Menon of JPMorgan Private Bank. We unveiled our AI-Native Program. And we made the case, together, for a future where opportunity reached everyone, not just a few.
Check out the recap.
