What is TEN?
The Tufts Entrepreneurial Network (TEN) is a volunteer-led community that works closely with Derby Entrepreneurship Center (DEC) to build a vibrant ecosystem for innovators and entrepreneurs among Tufts alumni across all business, professional, and education sectors.
In coordination with DEC, TEN hosts multiple networking and small-scale events per year around the world, as well as virtual speaker events and networking opportunities throughout the year.
How we work
TEN is made of regional and shared-interest chapters around the world, starting with three cities: New York, Boston and Austin, with San Francisco being in the works.
TEN is led by a steering committee that includes an elected Chair of TEN, the Chair of each regional chapter, a representative from the Office of Alumni Engagement (OAE), a member of the DEC board of advisors, and the Director of the Derby Entrepreneurship Center.
