What is the TNT community?

The TNT community is a network of 25+ startups and growing, made up of undergrads, PhDs, and MBAs from MIT and Harvard building together. Members get access to fireside chats with founders like Max Lobovsky (Formlabs), cofounder matching events, Startupathons, and Demo Days.

What events does TNT host?

TNT hosts fireside chats with successful founders and CEOs, cofounder matching events, Startupathons (hackathon-style building sprints), Demo Days during Boston Tech Week, and regular community meetups.

How do I join the TNT community?

You can join the TNT community by applying to the accelerator as a founder, becoming a TNT Fellow, volunteering as a mentor, or signing up through our talent network. Visit tnt.so/founders to apply or tnt.so/talent to join the talent network.

Do I need to be in the accelerator to attend TNT events?
