Date Apr 8
HBS Rock Demo Day features teams from the Rock Accelerator and New Venture Competition. We are excited to present these ventures. At the end of the pitches, teams will have small-group rooms that you may join to meet the (co)founders. Attendees may choose a track to follow for the duration of the pitches or elect to switch between upcoming pitches. The Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship is a vital resource to HBS students and a champion for entrepreneurship at HBS. Our goal is to help you navigate the multitude of programs and resources available to students and alumni in the HBS and Harvard Ecosystem and in locations around the globe.
