Objective
Curated Visits expands Bentley students’ exposure to entrepreneurship by connecting them with high-impact events across Greater Boston. Through this initiative, the E-Hub identifies and promotes select opportunities from partner universities, entrepreneurial organizations, and innovation ecosystems, making it easier for students to explore the startup world beyond campus. Selected events receive E-Hub sponsorship, including transportation support and promotion on the E-Hub website and social media, helping connect more students to opportunities in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Purpose
Curated Visits empowers student entrepreneurs to gain firsthand exposure to innovation and startup ecosystems. The E-Hub curates a small number of relevant events each month such as pitch competitions, founder talks, networking sessions, innovation gatherings and panels and coordinates group attendance to foster shared learning and discovery. E-Hub supports these visits by coordinating and reimbursing transportation costs, while also featuring them on its platforms to broaden awareness. Curated Visits give Bentley students the chance to engage with innovative ventures and thought leaders beyond campus, enriching their learning, sparking collaboration and transform inspiration into action.
Faculty Coordinator
The Curated Visits initiative aims to accelerate your entrepreneurial journey by connecting you with key events in the Greater Boston startup ecosystem. E-Hub provides a curated list of recommended events and offers support for your transportation costs to and from the venue. These visits are open to all Bentley students. Event registration or ticket fees (if applicable) are not covered, though priority is given to free events.
- The E-Hub curates and publishes 2–3 off-campus entrepreneurship events each month
- Students sign up through the E-Hub Curated Visits registration form
- Students are responsible for registering directly on the event’s website, which will be linked on the Curated Visits page
- Once sign-ups close, an E-Hub team member confirms attendance and shares logistics via email with all sign-ups
- On the day of the event, students meet at LaCava Bus Stop at a designated time
- The group travels together to the event and returns to campus afterward
Curated Visits typically include 4–15 students and are designed to be low-friction, high-impact experiences that connect Bentley students with real founders, investors, and startup communities across Greater Boston.
