About Our Network

The Global Family Entrepreneurship Network (GFEN) is the world’s first network founded to help families create economic value and social impact built on the foundation of stronger family relationships. Comprised of a highly select group of leading enterprising families, members provide critical funding for BIFE’s cutting-edge programs and innovative learning.

Thought Leadership from the Institute:

Family entrepreneurship is unlike other businesses. It involves a unique set of dynamics focused on what families need to learn to function, make decisions, and create value together effectively. Stemming from BIFE’s research-backed family entrepreneurial learning, our approach helps families achieve their goals and work more effectively together.

Wisdom from Experts:

Learn from renowned Babson Faculty and Centers and Institutes with curated research on topics members are interested in. Connect with families with similar problems in a confidential, collaborative community.

Exclusive Experiences:

Learn together at two curated summits per year. Network members have the opportunity to take part in private Custom Learning Programs tailored to their families and needs.

Our family’s experience with The Global Family Entrepreneurship Network custom learning program has been transformative. This program has fostered a new level of growth in our family relationships, equipping us with the tools to collaborate more effectively and envision a shared future with greater confidence and unity.”
