Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs Regional Startup World Cup
September 12th, Boston MA
Harvard Medical School, The Martin Conference Center
Twelve Exceptional Alumni Startups. One Global Stage.
Why do some startups change the world while others don't? It starts with purpose.
On September 12, Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs (HAE) presents Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs Regional Startup World Cup. Our twelve Harvard alumni founders are building the future across AI, global impact technology, and healthcare innovation and solving real problems.
Harvard alumni have already created unicorns like Strava, Zillow, and TripAdvisor. Now meet tomorrow's unicorns pitching today, competing for their shot at $1 million from Pegasus Tech Ventures at the 2025 Startup World Cup Finals in San Francisco.
Featuring an exclusive fireside chat with Harvard alum Mark Penn (renowned strategist, author of Microtrends, Chairman & CEO of Stagwell) and his classmate Bill Reichert (legendary Silicon Valley investor, Partner at Pegasus Tech Ventures), exploring new microtrends and how today's funding climate is rewriting the rules of growth.
This inaugural Regional competition showcases HAE's commitment to creating unprecedented opportunities for our alumni. In partnership with Jaylen Brown's 7uice Foundation, we've invited their young entrepreneurs to join the event and find out what it takes to be a founder.
Don't join us just to watch pitches and network. See how purpose meets opportunity through alumni innovation.
Tickets start at $25
