Students Ready to Make an Impact
HBS has long grounded its students in both the theoretical insight and practical experience needed to conceive and launch enterprises that solve challenges facing business and society.
For those who have a passion to found, work at, or invest in a startup, HBS’s Rock Center for Entrepreneurship, the Harvard Innovation Labs, and HBS’s close ties to the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are flush with entrepreneurial opportunities. Elective courses, interactions with faculty and alumni, competitions, and programming provide a launch pad for these students. Further, all MBA students take a required course that introduces them to thinking like an entrepreneurial manager.
This section offers an exploration of HBS’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and highlights the wide-ranging interests and impact of the School’s entrepreneurially minded MBA students. A conversation with two faculty members provides an overview of the many resources available to students at HBS, and three stories feature the experiences of newly minted graduates who are in the process of fully developing their ventures in agritech, social enterprise, and sustainability. Their journeys illustrate the ways in which HBS delivers the knowledge base that fuels innovation and the support systems that catalyze new enterprises. Annual gifts to the HBS Fund are critical to the continued evolution and strength of the School’s dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem and its impact in the world.
