About
The world comes to Boston to learn. How do we make Boston the place the world comes to build?
By building together.
Join founders from The Open Accelerator, MTLC’s The Founder Lab and HBS Foundry for an evening at Akamai’s Kendall Square headquarters.
These three programs share the goal of helping more founders build strong companies in Massachusetts.
The Open Accelerator is a 16-week residency for early-stage AI startups building for business in Massachusetts. The Founder Lab is a 10-week founder cohort for Massachusetts technology founders working through real company-building decisions. HBS Foundry pairs 115 years of Harvard Business School expertise with an AI-native founder platform — helping high-potential founders succeed.
Join us to:
> Meet the founders from the inaugural cohorts and see what they are building.
> Hear how founders are thinking through customers, go-to-market, enterprise readiness, product decisions, and growth.
> Connect with founders, investors, enterprise leaders, operators, and ecosystem partners helping companies build here.
