BEC story
In November 2011 INPULSE team started a series of initiatives with a small group of motivated and interdisciplinary international students focusing on developing their entrepreneurial dreams and willing to network with other international students based in the Boston area coming from Harvard and MIT. In May 2012, after a pilot period of 7 months with small and medium international language centers, INPULSE CEO created a new program, the “Global Leadership and Entrepreneurship in Boston”. The program was inspired by the David Gergen's course "Becoming A Leader", the workshops of Marshall Gunz at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and the startup activities of the MIT Entrepreneurship Center. The program was designed by mentors with a wide range of backgrounds and was dedicated to empower international students' leadership and entrepreneurial skills.
The successful outcomes of the “Leadership and Entrepreneurship” program drove INPULSE team to set up an innovative educational project the Boston Entrepreneurship Center (BEC).
BEC vision resides in the creation and proliferation of new jobs through the promotion and enhancement of the entrepreneurial mindset of individuals and young startups intrigued or operating in the greater Boston area. This will lead BEC members to define and improve their project and business ideas in order to approach their target audience (as clients, potential partners or investors), build effective branding and marketing campaigns, understand capital raising mechanisms and develop global business networks. The final objective is to support individuals and startups to create and improve successful business operations and build competitive personal or business advantage. The BEC program is based on a Coaching Startup Model and it is supported by an Artificial Intelligence networking platform to scale up the BEC model globally.
