Here is your opportunity to be a part of the first HAE-HBSAA* Startup Showcase.
Applicants have greatly exceeded our expectations - we have well over 100 brilliant start ups vying for one of six spots to pitch on the 17th! Each finalist will get to pitch for 5 mins, followed by 5 mins of Q&A.
This is your chance to hear the best of what Harvard Entrepreneurs have to offer, to test your investing skills & have a say in which startup will have the opportunity to pitch to Harvard Alumni Angels at their next investors meeting.
All attendees will be invited to download an app (link given at registration) and given $10K Crimson Cash to invest between your favorite startups (or given all to one you really love - your choice!). Winners are determined by the most cash invested from the audience!
For questions, please contact Kirstin Broderick, HAE-NYC at kirstin@north-scale.com, or Jim Sherman, HBSAA, at jsherman@amberventures.tech.
