Harvard students seeking ongoing support and mentorship with their startups are encouraged to apply for the Harvard Innovation Lab‘s Spring 2016 Venture Incubation Program. The Program offers a great opportunity for current Harvard students (including students throughout the university, from the Law School and beyond) who are looking for space and related community resources as they try to build out a venture. Information about the program and the application process is available at the i-Lab website. Applications for the spring are due on January 4, 2016.
In the words of the i-Lab:
The Venture Incubation Program is a 12-week program designed to help current Harvard students make progress on their entrepreneurial ventures. We encourage students to apply who are committed to building their venture among an engaging community at the i-lab. Selected teams will have access to VIP-only events, mentoring, expert resources, and coworking space at the i-lab. Since we opened the i-lab in 2011, 575 VIP student teams have participated, with many going on to get funding and become real businesses.
Applications must be submitted by matriculated, degree-seeking Harvard students. The lead Harvard student team member must have a presence at the i-lab on a regular basis.
Teams will be chosen by a panel of evaluators. We are encouraging students and teams from across the University to apply. Special consideration may be given to teams already formed around a venture and focused on implementation and growth. Please note that any awards of space to team(s) will be subject to agreement by the team to the i-lab’s Terms of Use” agreement.
Interested in learning more? Attend the “Introduction to VIP” session at the i-Lab on December 14th at 6:00 pm.
The Harvard Innovation Lab launched in November 2011 and serves as a resource for students across Harvard interested in entrepreneurship and innovation. Programming offered by the i-Lab is designed to help students grow ventures at any stage of development and covers a wide variety of disciplines.
