Program Overview

Leading Cities, a global nonprofit helping cities find, prepare, and deploy solutions that strengthen resilience, sustainability, and quality of life, is excited to launch Growth & Strategy: Expanding Market Reach and Capture on Tuesday, July 7. This 12-week virtual course is a prime opportunity for startup founders in government-facing technologies looking to scale with cities, enter new markets, and prepare for investment. 

Topics Covered 

  • Market Expansion Strategy
  • Capture Planning
  • Public-Sector Positioning
  • Connections with experienced city leaders and public sector experts

 

Massachusetts-based companies may be eligible for 100% reimbursement of the program cost through the state’s Workforce Training Fund Express Program. The Leading Cities team walks participants through the application, which takes about 15 minutes.

Virtual sessions are 2 hours long per week. Beyond the curriculum, participants join a community of 100+ startups from around the world, with direct connections to Leading Cities’ network of cities and investors. They’re also a partner of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize — meaning participants are eligible for nomination and the chance to compete for £1,000,000 in international recognition.

Interested? Enrollment closes on Monday, June 1st.   To register or learn more, sign up here or contact facilitator Ryan Nickerson: r.nickerson@leadingcities.org

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!
