So, what is Dent?
For those of you interested in applying who aren't all that familiar with Dent yet, here is a little bit more context about who we are and what we're about.Dent creates and supports a community of entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives who are driven to "put a dent in the universe." We began as an annual conference but quickly developed into a strong community of people who call themselves "Denters." The name Dent comes from the Steve Jobs quote: "we're here to put a dent in the universe, why else even be here?"The conference focuses on drawing actionable insights from the stories of others and building an environment where peers from diverse backgrounds and fields of expertise are encouraged to build meaningful relationships through conversation and shared experience. In addition to an annual conference, now hosted in Yountville, CA, Dent works to engage with Denters throughout the year and provide opportunities for them to connect with each other and forge the kinds of connections that lead to powerful collaborations.Dent was founded in 2012 by Jason Preston and Steve Broback.
