Are you an innovator or early-stage entrepreneur? The Harvard Business School Association of Northern California invites you to participate in this year’s One Harvard New Venture Competition.
The Bay Area Alumni Clubs of all the Harvard schools have come together to offer a regional "One Harvard" New Venture Competition (1HNVC). The program will offer qualified applicants an opportunity to present to a large group of VC and Angel investors, receive free software, products, and services, and compete for cash prizes. In 2020, over $500,000 of prizes were awarded to competing startups. Applicants will also receive curated mentoring from HBSANC StartUp Partners prior to the 1HNVC on 2/24/2021. The HBS winner will advance to the HBS global semifinals and finals in Boston with a chance to win over $100,000 in cash prizes!
