How to Get Involved

The Penn State Alumni Entrepreneurs Network (PSAEN) connects alumni regionally, creating an inclusive ecosystem of Penn State entrepreneurs globally. If you are passionate about fostering a thriving community that empowers Penn State entrepreneurs to significantly impact innovation, we want you to join us!

Join an Existing Network

If you live in a region with an established network, email us to receive a link to join a private LinkedIn group. This group connects you with like-minded alums in your area and keeps you informed about upcoming events.

Start a New Network in Your Area

If your city or region doesn’t have a Penn State Alumni Entrepreneurs Network, you can start one! Here’s how:
  • Find Support: Recruit at least two additional Penn State alums who are entrepreneurs or interested in entrepreneurship to serve as City Ambassadors.
  • Secure a Venue: Identify a local bar, restaurant, or venue willing to host networking events for Penn State Alumni Entrepreneurs.
  • Schedule Events: Commit to co-planning and hosting two annual events, one in the spring and one in the fall.
Once you have this information, please fill out this form, and we will reach out to schedule a Zoom call.
