Dartmouth Founders Project
The project is a community of alumni entrepreneurs sharing their success by giving to Dartmouth.
What is the Dartmouth Founders Project?
The Dartmouth Founders Project is an exclusive community of entrepreneurs and leaders who are so inspired by Dartmouth’s work, ideals, and mission that they are sharing the benefits of their success with the university.
Why Join the Dartmouth Founders Project?
As a DFP member, you have the satisfaction of making philanthropic goals an integral part of your business strategy and success. As you grow your strategy, our team will connect you with campus resources for recruitment and networking to help you take advantage of all that Dartmouth has to offer our community of innovators.
Be a Resource
If your company is seeking Dartmouth talent through internships and job opportunities, explore Dartmouth’s alumni-only online networking hub, Dartmouth Connect, or visit the Center for Professional Development.
Join a Community
The Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship is an incredible resource for our entire entrepreneurial community. DFP members also receive a discount to the annual Bay Area Entrepreneurs Forum hosted by the Magnuson Center.
