I assist in accomplishing MFN’s goals through general communications support.

 

Why is this project important to you?

MFN means I can see information spread in real time- think of it as many light bulbs going off during conversations and events that may not have happened otherwise.

 

What are you hoping to offer founders and entrepreneurs in MA as part of MFN?

A down to earth outlet to convey both their approaches and areas of expertise.

 

Why do you think supporting entrepreneurs is important for Massachusetts?

Entrepreneurship in Massachusetts can generate opportunities that are tailored to the entire community rather than to a specific cohort. During my senior year of college and the summer thereafter, I completed an internship with a clean tech startup in the Berkshires while having studied English and Political Science. The experience was my first time stepping foot into the state’s startup ecosystem, and I was fortunate enough to not only dive into the research side of things, but to also interact and collaborate with the results of the decisions I contributed to.

 

What do you like to do for fun? 

Try to win at bowling, read books and magazines, and cuddle my fat cat Stallone.

Are you working to find community and opportunity as a Massachusetts startup founder? Join MFN and get access to experts, networking opportunities, and connections within the statewide entrepreneur ecosystem.

Founders are everywhere, but resources aren’t.

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.

About MFN

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. 

We plan to launch the Massachusetts Founders Network in summer 2023. Sign up for our newsletter to get alerts about our launch, new features, and MFN events!
