Industry groups in Boston

Boston's networks are organised around its universities and its investment industry. The Harvard and other university clubs are among the largest institutions in the city; Harvard Business School Alumni Angels was founded here; and the chapters of EO, TIGER 21 and Hampton draw heavily from biotechnology, software and asset management. The Somerset Club and the reopened 'Quin House represent the two ends of the club market — the most traditional in the country and one of the newest. Family-office networks are well represented because so many single-family offices are based in the region.
