Hello Everyone! My name is Alisson Amaral, Babson Global Scholars, class of 2021. This will be my first post in the internship category, and the reason of why I took so long to write something was that I wanted to start my blogging experience by answering a question that I have been wondering for…
Working at an accelerator provides many opportunities, one of them being the chance to network with numerous startups. However, when you are introverted, this is as big of a challenge as it is an opportunity.

Last week, the Babson SF team took a trip to Yelp. Every one of us have used the website/app at least once during our stay our time here in San Francisco .With all of the restaurants around us Yelp makes it easy to choose where we’d like to go. It was a unique experience to…
This post was written by Natalie Cullings, Class of 2014. If the words coding, gamification, startup, design, or hacking mean something to you, then CrunchU, TechCrunch’s online learning academy, will definitely be of use to you. Don’t know much about the tech industry? Don’t worry–this online “university” is a great place to start. Modules are…
