Welcome to HarvardAE Chicago
The Chicago chapter of HarvardAE was launched in 2015. In HarvardAE Chicago’s first year of operations, the Chapter strategically began exploring priority areas in alignment with activities on campus. In addition, we added a focus area (My Harvard) to reflect the uniqueness of our local Chicago Chapter.
The founding members of HarvardAE Chicago have real-world experience as successful entrepreneurs, and include alumni featured in Harvard Alumni Magazine and a Harvard Business School case study.
Our goal is to facilitate and encourage our Chapter alumni to select areas of personal interest…areas they believe in personally and passionately. We know firsthand that passion drives entrepreneurs. We ask our fellow alumni to join our collective group in bringing entrepreneurship to our Harvard community and to make an impact by leading.
The making of an entrepreneurial community doesn't just happen. It takes hard work to create an environment where ideas flourish and companies succeed. Curious about how others have done it? Join Michael Madden '00, Managing Partner of The Yard Ventures, for a kick-off discussion on what it takes to foster a culture of growth.
