NEWS: New Partnership with Jaylen Brown’s 7uice Foundation

Founded in 2019 by NBA All-Star Jaylen Brown, The 7uice Foundation collaborates with institutions, organizations, and change leaders to bridge the opportunity gap and empower the next generation of innovators and leaders.

Jaylen's Announcement of our Partnership

HAE is joining forces with The 7uice Foundation to open up our network and resources to create pathways to access for their young entrepreneurs and bringing mentorship, education, and opportunity to the next generation of changemakers.

We kicked it off by inviting nearly 30 of their young entrepreneurs and staff to our inaugural Startup World Cup Regional, where several engaged our finalists with thoughtful and inspiring questions. We look forward to sharing more as our partnership continues to grow!
