📣 Harvard Ventures Comp 2026 📣

In Harvard Ventures’s comp, you’ll get a strong foundation for what it takes to build a company. Our goal is to help you learn about concepts like business models, startup metrics, funding rounds, customer discovery, and creating a pitch deck. You’ll put these ideas into practice during comp meetings as well as in a larger project in which you’ll work on with a group to develop and pitch a startup idea to finalize your comp. We’ll also give you many opportunities to meet and build out ideas with other compers that have similar interests to you, as well as existing HV members.

Our comp meets once per week for an hour. Comp meetings will feature everything from fireside chats, to working sessions, to 30-minute interactive presentations by board members. When we start the team project, you’ll have plenty of time to work with your team to build out your startup idea, business model, and pitch deck. The time commitment for HV comp is about 1-2 hours per week, with maybe a little extra work required to create your pitch deck. We’re excited to have you along for this journey!
