20181204How do you change the world, one business at a time?

 

Synonymous with innovation, forward thinking, and creative leadership in technology, the Silicon Valley continues to prevail as a pivotal trendsetter for our global culture. Yet, out of the millions of companies incorporated each year, what makes certain startups succeed, and others fail?

As 2018 comes to a close, let's celebrate our entrepreneurs by exploring this question together. Our hand-selected panel of startup advisors will pool their experiences and share insights from various industries, and then open for a panel Q&A.

Come and be curious, or bring a question or insight to contribute to this important conversation!

(We will also be introducing our 2019 One Harvard New Venture Competition with some exciting new information, so stay tuned to find out more!)
