ABOUT THE CONNECTICUT ENTREPRENEURS FORUM

The Connecticut Entrepreneurs Forum helps technology-driven entrepreneurs to engage and broaden their skills through peer learning, information sharing, and cultivating a supportive environment so that their start-ups can grow and succeed. We provide community and opportunities for collaboration and connections that support entrepreneurial success and the pursuit of growth.

Formerly known as the MIT Enterprise Forum of Connecticut, CEF was founded in 2021 as an independent, locally managed 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

The Connecticut Entrepreneurs Forum is led by a Board of Directors made up of passionate volunteers. Our leadership is dedicated to make an impact on Connecticut’s entrepreneurs through our educational events and engaging conversations.
