Northeastern Entrepreneurs Club

Educating, inspiring, and empowering Northeastern’s student innovators, leaders, and founders globally

Northeastern Entrepreneurs Club is the university’s largest student-led organization, with four core programs, 2,000+ active members, and more than 30 events each semester. We connect students with resources and speakers — including venture capitalists, industry leaders, and co-founders — to explore career paths and develop an entrepreneurial mindset.   

Our four core programs provide hands-on experiences and networking opportunities: 

  • Husky Startup Challenge (HSC) is Northeastern’s official venture incubator and pitch competition, where founders compete for up to $10,000 in cash prizes 
  • Tuesday Speaker Series brings in founders of high-growth startups and C-suite executives from Fortune 500 companies for fireside chats 
  • Embassadors is a cohort-based, application-driven program that teaches entrepreneurial foundations while offering exclusive networking access 
  • Engage is a hands-on workshop series designed to equip students with essential hard and soft skills for their entrepreneurial toolkit. 

HSC gave us the space and structure to explore our customers, market, and industry at large. Because of HSC, we’ve gone on to build a product that’s used in 20 states, raise $5M+ of venture funding, and build an incredible team. None of this would have been possible without the early support and validation provided to us through the HSC program and community
