Join us at an Ivy+ New Venture Competition (NVC) and Networking Night in the heart of San Francisco's SoMa district! This will be an evening of wining, dining, entertainment, networking, and innovation.
The top 5 startup finalists from 28 Harvard Business School, Harvard, and MIT alumni-founded startups from Northern and Southern CA, Washington, Colorado, and Canada will pitch to a panel of esteemed judges -- all competing for the title of winner of the 2025 Western Regionals New Venture Competition (NVC).
The HBSANC Western Regional New Venture Competition (NVC) serves as a launch pad for innovative new ventures from Harvard Business School, Harvard, and MIT alumni by providing access and exposure to potential investors, mentors, and advisors. This annual event is sponsored globally by Harvard Business School's Rock Center for Entrepreneurship and regionally by the Harvard Business School Association of Northern California.
The first NVC finals judge to be announced is Chris Yeh, General Partner of Blitzscaling Ventures.
