Back the Builders of What’s Next

HAE: The global home for Harvard alumni founders, fueling founder momentum worldwide.

111 Countries | 20,000+ Community | 22 Chapters

You already know the feeling.
The leap. The doubt on the late nights. The one moment that changed everything.

Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs (HAE) exists for that moment: when a Harvard founder decides to bet on themselves. From first-time builders to serial entrepreneurs, from solo founders to startup CEOs, HAE is where Harvard founders sharpen their edge, find their people, and turn ambition into real companies.

We’re not here to dabble in entrepreneurship.
We’re here to translate Harvard-level thinking into real-world execution.

And that only happens because people like you choose to give back.
