The Women's Interdisciplinary Society of Entrepreneurship (WISE) is an undergraduate, student-led group at Northeastern University. Created to address the lack of representation of women and underrepresented genders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem at Northeastern, WISE is committed to empowering individuals across all backgrounds to not only join the entrepreneurial conversation but also to lead it. Our programming is designed to foster an innovative mindset through interactive workshops (WeLearn), a thought incubator (WeBuild), an early-stage venture accelerator (WeLaunch), mentorship pairings (WeSupport), a venture capital seminar (WeInvest), and our annual Summit. By increasing exposure to entrepreneurial skills and showcasing a strong sense of community, WISE strives to empower all those interested in creating their ventures or applying an innovative mindset to their future endeavors.
Learn MoreIn 2025, WISE Summit will focus on what it means to have been Built to Last. Built to Last calls upon each of us to think about how to form sustainability in our personal journeys, emphasize longevity in our careers, and define success on our own terms. The foundation we build today will support us in our future ventures, and it is important that we build it with care and intention. Whether we move through different industries, start new businesses, or stay on one path, our foundation is what will help keep us steady. By focusing on both our professional lives and personal growth we will hopefully develop a long-lasting and balanced approach to life that is Built to Last.
WISE uses an inclusive definition of “women” and “female”, and we welcome transwomen, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who identify, have identified, or have been identified as female or women.
