In 2018, the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center launched the Massachusetts Next Generation (MassNextGen) Initiative with one goal in mind, to shift the paradigm to build a diverse ecosystem with equal representation.

After five successful years of the program, the MLSC and its supporting sponsors deployed more than $2 million in funding to 26 women entrepreneurs and provided over 200 hours of coaching from the elite executive mentoring/coaching network.

The MLSC remains steadfast in ensuring Massachusetts is a model for changing the complexion of the entrepreneurial community. With the support from our MassNextGen sponsors, including our Anchor Platinum Sponsor Takeda, we are launching the next iteration of the program to support a larger pool of entrepreneurs with a more inclusive focus.

Join us on April 19 to celebrate the announcement of our year five cohort, the success of all 26 women entrepreneurs, and the expansion of MassNextGen 2.0.
