I-Lab Hosts Start-Up Weekend Scramble
Topics: Education-Curriculum and CoursesEducation-Curriculum and CoursesPhilanthropy-Giving ImpactLeadership-Leadership DevelopmentAlready a well-used venue, the Harvard Innovation Lab has been the site for a full schedule of panels, workshops, and seminars since its opening last fall. In early November, the i-lab hosted its first Start-Up Weekend Scramble, an event designed to let aspiring entrepreneurs discover if their business ideas are viable. Some two dozen mentors and advisers volunteered time to help 125 students from across Harvard fine-tune their projects and pitches. By Sunday night, the field had narrowed from 32 pitches to 13 presenting teams. Taking home top honors was Townhall 140, a live video and Twitter-enabled platform that gives users face time with government officials and political representatives.
