Entrepreneural Tower (eTower):

The e-tower is a community for student entrepreneurs at Babson College who are actively developing business plans and running companies. The purpose of the e-tower is to unite 21 student entrepreneurs and immerse them in an innovative, high-energy environment that promotes the creation, evolution, and implementation of business ideas. By merging the spirit of a community with the centralized office resources of a traditional business hatchery, we hope to create a platform for entrepreneurship that harnesses the pioneering spirit of the business leaders of tomorrow.
