Background on why EFNE works:
The American economy has always been driven by innovation, and nowhere is that more true than here in the region, with our legacy of experimentation, enterprise and diversity.
In that spirit, the Entrepreneurship Forum of New England (EFNE) was created - a true guild in the classic sense of the word where entrepreneurs come together to learn and practice the craft of entrepreneurship, benefiting not only themselves and each other but also the economy as a whole.
What makes EFNE different from other groups is that we are truely "Peer-to-Peer"
