Breaking into the startup world isn’t one-size-fits-all – and figuring out where you actually fit can be the hardest part. Should you start a company? Join an early-stage team? Or build experience as an operator before taking the founder leap?
This session is designed to help you understand the real differences between being a startup founder and a startup operator, and how to decide which path aligns with your skills, goals, and risk tolerance.

That’s a shame, because the next big idea could come from anywhere.
The Massachusetts Founder Network aims to bridge the gap, giving startup founders equitable access to resources that will help their companies grow.
We support MA founders no matter where they come from, their company’s stage, or their business sector. We want to democratize access to the resources that will help them accelerate—and excel. All founders are welcome to find resources and community at MFN while creating connections, expanding their networks, and learning from one another.
The Massachusetts Founders Network is a central hub for all things startups, fostering innovation and collaboration across the state. MFN offers valuable networking, resources, mentorship, and community for startup founders in Massachusetts.
MFN is produced by Lever, a startup accelerator based in North Adams. Our work is supported by funding from and collaboration with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, based in Westborough.
We’ve been advising and connecting with entrepreneurs for years, and we’re using that knowledge and network to launch something new, with the help of an advisory board of successful founders and major players in the startup ecosystem.
