Rootless Social partnered with the Babson College PE/VC Club to host a focused afternoon of connection, conversation, and community building in Greater Boston.
The event brought together founders, Babson students, alumni, investors, and ecosystem partners for a high-quality networking experience designed around meaningful interaction rather than formal presentations.
With Babson’s strong reputation in entrepreneurship and venture capital, the collaboration created a powerful bridge between emerging investors, operators, and active founders in the Boston startup ecosystem.
A High-Quality Networking Event at Babson
Unlike traditional panels or lecture-style events, this gathering was intentionally structured as a relaxed, curated networking experience.
Attendees had the opportunity to:
- Connect with PE and VC-focused classmates
- Engage with Babson alumni building and funding companies
- Meet active founders across industries
- Build relationships with Greater Boston ecosystem partners
Light bites and drinks were provided, helping create an informal yet intentional setting that encouraged open dialogue.
Connecting Founders and Future Investors in Boston
The collaboration between Rootless Social and the Babson PE/VC Club reinforced the importance of cross-generational and cross-role networking in today’s startup landscape.
Students interested in private equity and venture capital were able to engage directly with founders navigating real growth challenges. Founders gained exposure to future investors and talented operators preparing to enter the ecosystem.
Conversations throughout the afternoon centered on:
- Early-stage capital strategy
- Fundraising dynamics in Boston
- Building investable companies
- Career pathways in PE and VC
- The evolving startup ecosystem in Massachusetts

Greater Boston continues to be one of the most active startup and venture communities in the country. Events like this help strengthen the connective tissue between founders, funders, and future operators.
