Mission
TreehouseTM is a network of givers that empowers and inspires its members to take meaningful action via a series of small, invitation-only, nontraditional events.
#People - We welcome people (including advisors, connectors, CxOs, founders, helpers, investors, and mentors) of every gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and marital status; of every age, race, citizenship, and nationality; of every mental and physical ability; and of every economic and social status and political affiliation.
#Action - We take action by helping (including doing favors, giving back, mentorship, paying it forward, referrals, and sharing our talents, and volunteering) each other and our communities.
#Events - We host nontraditional events that are both online and in person, both public and private.
History
In the summer of 2003 and 2004, the perfect treehouse took shape in a four-stem maple in the back yard of a house in Acton, MA. The treehouse was built by Erik J. Heels and his three children: Sam, Ben, and Sonja. Shown here in all four seasons: winter, spring, summer, fall.
Treehouse was launched in December 2017 and held its first event in January 2018. Our first blog post is also a good introduction to the history of Treehouse:
