Each year, the prestigious Nantucket Conference offers a set of passes to entrepreneurs under the age of 30, sponsored by various VC firms, corporations, and generous individuals. The "Under 30" program enables early-stage entrepreneurs to present their businesses to Nantucket Conference participants, and get formal and informal advice throughout the two-and-a-half day event. The entrepreneurs are selected both by the underwriters of the Under 30 program and the conference organizers.

Get out of the office and get out into the Boston networking world for some memorable connections, good advice, and fresh air! This week is jam packed with 32 networking events and office hours scheduled. We have the can't-miss events miss events of the week below. See you out there!

If you ever want to build a tech startup, you have to build technology. That doesn’t mean outsourcing an MVP overseas or creep on engineers at hack-a-thons- it means actually building a technology.

There’s two fundamental processes in a new and growing company- building and selling. But you can’t sell if there’s nothing built to sell. Think of it as a requirement for any technology entrepreneur. All Pre-Med students must have a background in Biology and Organic Chemistry just like all tech entrepreneurs should have a background in Javascript and MySQL.

April is on its way out, and just like that, the world is transitioning to May. This week is a bit quieter than the last, with 31 startup networking events and office hours packed with great events to help you and your startup bloom to the next level.

Ok so you did your homework on the company, convinced the team you’re a genius and owned the interview that got you your first startup job. But… now what do you do?

Startups are notorious for hiring fast and firing fast. Just because you got the job doesn’t mean you’re safe because most companies need someone that’s going to jump in on the first day and hit the ground running.

This week has 31 networking events and office hours scheduled in Boston. As always, the can't-miss events are below!
