COMMUNITY NIGHTS HAVE MOVED ONLINE!
*PLEASE NOTE* December 2020 Community Night Update
We were presented with an unexpected and exciting opportunity to merge our typical monthly event with Western New England University’s Product Innovations Showcase. We welcomed the chance to expand our collaboration with WNE (one of the participating Grinspoon Entrepreneurship Initiative schools) and support these student entrepreneurs by inviting the VVM community to their product pitches.
Join us this week in celebrating these collegiate entrepreneurs!
Wednesday DECEMBER 9TH FROM 4:30-6:00 PM
PLEASE NOTE extended bonus time, as the event begins at 4:30 PM.

Every great thing out there started as somebody’s crazy idea.
Entrepreneurs are here to change the world, and we’re here to help them. Everyone has something to give and something to learn. You don’t have to know what that is when you walk in (or log in) —that’s what we’re here for. Whether you become a lead mentor, apply for intensive training as an entrepreneur, or just dip in whenever your schedule allows, you start by simply showing up.
Whether you’re a potential mentor, an entrepreneur, or just “startup curious,” the best way to experience VVM is to dive in at our monthly Community Night on the 2nd Wednesday of each month
We want to keep our entrepreneurial community engaged and inspired, the following links are helpful tools to use during this time
VVM MONTHLY MEETINGS ARE:
Fun: We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Symbiotic: It turns out helping others can be great for your own career too.
Smart: Our community has incredibly broad and deep expertise. This is the networking opportunity you’ve been looking for.
Exciting: Entrepreneurs are creating the future, and we get to be part of it. It’s an amazing rush.
Free: No strings. Just be your awesome self.
VVM MONTHLY MEETINGS ARE NOT:
Boring: A thousand mentors and more than 100 startups agree.
Pie in the Sky: It’s working. VVM Alumni are generating millions of dollars in investment and revenue.
Soliciting Free-for-Alls: Great business happens for our community as a result of networking. We don’t need to sell to each other.
Time-Intensive: We know you’re busy. Come once a month, come once a year—all are welcomed and respected.
