About the event
The future of AI isn't theoretical—it's pitching live.
Mind2Market brings venture teams from across Harvard's innovation ecosystem to the stage. Each Grid Applied AI Incubator undergraduate teams plus standout projects from Harvard Innovation Lab, Harvard Data Science Initiative, the Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences Startup Foundry, Lemann Center for Creativity and Entrepreneurship (LCPE), Harvard Health Lab , and beyond. These aren't classroom exercises. They are tested models built by students that deploy machine learning for impact - from healthcare diagnostics to climatech, from enterprise automation to human augmentation.
~20 student pitches plus SEAS faculty research highlights.
The Grid A2I2 cohort competes for $35K in AWS credits to fuel their ventures into pilots in the Spring. But the bigger play? Connecting audacious ideas with the investors, mentors, and collaborators who can accelerate them from prototype to production.
Dean David Parkes of the School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, a multi-agent AI researcher himself, will kick-off Mind2Market 2025, where Harvard students' AI ambitions meets capital and faculty share flashtalks on their frontier research. At the end, stick around for the post-pitch reception -- connections over food and drinks, because the best deals happen when the slides come down.
