Key details and purpose
The summit is designed to address longstanding capital gaps in the CRE sector and to highlight innovative funding strategies that support more inclusive development. Programming will include keynote presentations, panel discussions, and curated case studies that showcase successful projects and offer real-time investment opportunities.

Harvard undergraduate entrepreneurship summit
The Harvard Undergraduate Venture Capital Group will host its third annual Entrepreneurship Summit on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at The Ritz-Carlton in Boston. The summit, described as the largest undergraduate entrepreneurship and venture capital conference in the nation, will run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and feature more than 60 speakers across 12 panels. Topics include biotech, AI investing, legal aspects of venture, and private equity; keynote sessions will feature founders of high-growth startups and leaders of public companies.

Why this matters
Persistent capital gaps in CRE have constrained projects led by emerging and diverse developers, particularly in communities that historically have had limited access to mainstream investment. The Builder Coalition’s summit and similar industry activities aim to reduce barriers by gathering capital providers, project sponsors, and public-sector partners to exchange practical tools, showcase replicable models, and structure transactions that channel investment into underserved markets. Concurrent private-sector moves, such as JLL’s local expansion, indicate continued industry focus on regional multifamily demand and capital deployment strategies.
