The Entrepreneurial Family program from Babson Professional and Executive Education is an immersive summer experience designed for parents and their teenage children to grow together through the lens of entrepreneurship. Over the course of one week, families engage in hands-on learning using Babson’s renowned Entrepreneurial Thought & Action® (ET&A™) methodology, building stronger relationships while developing entrepreneurial mindsets.

 

Launched through the vision and generosity of Babson alumnus and business leader Diego Lowenstein ’90, P’21 ’22, this program offers a rare opportunity to collaborate with your teen as peers, gaining insight into each other’s strengths, perspectives, and aspirations together. Participants explore real-world business challenges, generate new ideas, and learn how entrepreneurial thinking can be applied not only to business but to life.
