Tuesday’s event will feature rockstar VC Bijan Sabet of Spark Capital as a guest speaker. The Eventbrite page says all the tickets but that you can get wait-listed if you sign up. The event is spearheaded by the Harvard Business School Startup Tribe, a student club. 7 to 10 p.m., HBS Burden Auditorium, Allston

• MIT Venture Capital Conference, Friday. The 14th annual event will include speakers (Kenneth Hap Klopp, Brad Feld Chris Gabrieli), panels and a startup showcase.
