Overview
This initiative brings the Bentley community together for relaxed, engaging screenings that highlight real startup journeys and entrepreneurial stories. Instead of full-length films, sessions feature curated clips, short documentaries, and founder-focused content designed to inspire without the time commitment. Held periodically throughout the semester, Founders Night is an easy, drop-in way to connect with other students interested in entrepreneurship, enjoy some food, and spark new ideas. You might meet a future collaborator, learn from a founder’s experience, or walk away with a fresh perspective on building something of your own.
No preparation required, just show up, watch, and get inspired. Founders Night is one of the most accessible entry points into Bentley’s entrepreneurial community, offering a low-pressure, social way to engage with startup thinking and stories worth watching.
