The ELEVEN Society

A network connecting entrepreneurial students across the eleven NESCAC colleges.

Interest form The Summit, Nov 15

What this is

Eleven campuses, eleven separate scenes. This connects them.

Every NESCAC campus has students who are building things: companies, research, products, projects of their own. Most of them never meet the people doing the same thing a few hours down the road.

No single school is big enough to gather that energy on its own. Put the eleven together and it becomes a community: people to trade ideas with, find a cofounder in, and build alongside.

The Eleven Society is what brings them together: entrepreneurial and talented students from all eleven, and events that put everyone in one room.

What you get out of it

  1. 01

    Students, building with students

    The Eleven Society is run by students, for students. We believe the best connections in college happen naturally, when ambitious, bright people across the NESCAC meet, work side by side, and build things together.

  2. 02

    You do not have to be a founder

    Doing something exceptional outside of startups? We still want to meet you. Engineers, researchers, people in finance and VC, designers, writers, organizers. The point is to gather the best talent across the eleven, company or no company.

    Find your cofounder, your first engineer, or whoever already solved the thing you are stuck on.

  3. 03

    Rooms and intros worth having

    Our events put the strongest people across the eleven in one room, on purpose, and open the short path to the companies and fast-growing startups worth knowing. The Summit is the flagship: eleven pitches, breakout sessions, and a startup showcase during dinner. Boston, November 15.
