The network has expanded from Coast to Coast. Growing out of the original Hanover entrepreneurship conference, Greener Ventures, and networks established in Boston and New York, alumni groups have organized eight entrepreneurial networks nation-wide.
The mission of the eight Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Networks in the Bay Area, Boston, Chicago, Colorado, DC, LA, NYC, and Seattle is to foster relationships among its members, help educate them about founding, operating, and financing entrepreneurial endeavors, and help establish and grow the DEN network.
DEN communities include the alumni, students, and faculty of Dartmouth College, the Tuck School of Business, the Thayer School of Engineering, and the Dartmouth Medical School who live or work in the DEN City areas.
Each DEN City helps to fuel entrepreneurial activity among Dartmouth alumni and each of the eight DEN Cities stive to use common ties to Hanover to create an atmosphere of trust and familiarity for all of their members.

Dartmouth Entrepreneurs Forum
in coordination with DEN Bay Area
Plug & Play Tech Center
440 N. Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale, CA 94085
Submission deadline: Friday, July 24th
Host: Jeff Crowe D'78, Norwest Venture Partners
Dartmouth alums in the Silicon Valley venture capital community are working with DEN Bay Area to plan an exciting event on September 2nd. The Dartmouth Entrepreneurs Forum will be a unique opportunity for Dartmouth start-ups to present to Dartmouth VCs in an informal setting designed for feedback, mentoring and networking. Dartmouth alums from Norwest Venture Partners, Trinity Ventures, Bay Partners, Palomar Ventures and other Silicon Valley venture firms will meet with the management teams of selected Dartmouth start-ups in 20 minute sessions to listen to their corporate pitches and offer suggestions regarding corporate strategy, team building and fundraising. Following the sessions, there will be extended networking time over food and drink for the management teams, VCs and all audience members to connect further. See the preliminary agenda below.
We are currently looking for start-ups and small companies who are interested to present in the Forum. This opportunity is open to any start-up or small company who has a Dartmouth alum (or student!) as a founder or executive. While we expect many of the interested companies to be local to the Bay Area, we are holding open multiple spots for qualified companies from around the country, based on the overall number of companies selected. If you are interested, please send Jeff Crowe D’78, a partner at Norwest Venture Partners in Palo Alto, a one page executive summary of your company and a presentation deck of no more than 10 slides by Friday July 24th. We have presentation slots open for at least a half dozen companies and are looking for ones with particularly exciting prospects who could benefit the most from the interaction with the VCs.
By the way, DEN Bay Area participated in a highly successful Dartmouth Entrepreneurs Forum back in March, with nearly 200 Dartmouth alumni in attendance. At that Forum, we had John Donahoe D’82, CEO of eBay, and a panel of successful Dartmouth entrepreneurs and venture capitalists present to the audience. Like the March Forum, this Forum will also take place at Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale, CA. Plug and Play is home to over 100 Silicon Valley start-ups and is a unique environment for young companies. Also like the March Forum, the September Forum will be open to all Dartmouth alumni and will be free of charge. So any companies interested to present at the September Forum will have visibility among a wider audience of Bay Area Dartmouth alums.
