Our Story

Our journey began within the vibrant halls of Boston University, sparked by a group of students united by a vision. We saw firsthand the hurdles faced by immigrant and refugee entrepreneurs — a talented, ambitious group in dire need of a support network to bring their business dreams to life. Armed with our business acumen and entrepreneurial zeal, we embarked on creating a haven for these visionaries.

Now, DREAM Venture Labs stands as a beacon of hope and innovation. We're not just a team; we're a movement of entrepreneurs driven to make a difference. We pair budding business owners with student advisors and consultants from across Boston's universities. These bright minds lend their expertise in marketing, product development, distribution, and more, all to elevate our DREAM Members' ventures.

Our impact resonates through Boston, with over 100 students dedicating their skills to empower our members. Our network of support extends to legal clinics for entity formation and partnerships with organizations offering educational opportunities.

At DREAM Venture Labs, we're crafting a global community where the unique talents of migrant and refugee entrepreneurs are not only recognized but also nurtured to their full potential. Our mission extends beyond the local landscape, aiming to enrich society by drawing top talent to the US and fostering an environment of innovation and inclusivity. Join us in our pursuit of a better future, where every entrepreneur has the support to thrive.

We believe that every aspiring entrepreneur can turn their dreams into reality, can create a meaningful impact, and can inspire positive change in the world with the right guidance and resources.
