E-Tower: A Community For Entrepreneurs

For any entrepreneur in college, E-Tower is a dream. The community of 21 entrepreneurs at Babson College share living quarters and centralized office resources of a traditional business hatchery to grow and build their businesses while in school. Businesses range from those in the product development stage to multimillion dollar companies. The tower was actually the first of its kind started by students in 2001 and still run by students today. But, it's not quite an incubator since startups don't receive any seed capital from the school.

The organization has meetings every Monday night where members pitch and brainstorm business ideas as well as speak series that bring in top CEO's and entrepreneurs from around the country. I have been to one of the meetings, and have to say that it's a pretty cool opportunity. Here is a video that gives you a better idea of what it's like:
