This program concludes with a Demo Day featuring a panel of experts and investors. The best presentation on Demo Day will be invited to compete at the Grand Finale of the Pegasus Startup World Cup.
The HarvardAE accelerator provides extensive mentoring support to address the specific needs of each company. The faculty and mentors will work with each startup to identify its specific key challenges and develop a customized program of support and solutions.
The faculty, guest speakers, and mentors have unparalleled experience as entrepreneurs, educators, and investors, bringing practical, real-world knowledge and techniques to the program.
To build ties between members of the program and reinforce mastery of key concepts and tools, the accelerator also integrates a novel and powerful “peer mentoring” process.
The program concludes with a Demo Day that gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase their businesses to a panel of experts and investors and to the larger community of the Accelerator.
Beyond the ten weeks of the program, entrepreneurs will continue to have access to their peers and to the faculty and mentors through an online community that is designed to carry the advantages of the program far beyond the ten weeks of the intensive accelerator.
The company with the best presentation on Demo Day will be invited to compete at the global Startup World Cup championship event in San Francisco in the Fall of 2024. At the event, the company will compete with over 80 regional champions from around the world for a grand prize of $1 million.
