Celebrating a decade of innovation

Reflecting on a decade of innovation

As we reflect on the 10th anniversary of the Harvard Innovation Labs, we could not be prouder of the work our teams have done to improve our futures, or more excited for what’s still to come.

Over the last decade, 4,700+ founders — from all 13 Harvard schools — have come through our doors. They’ve gone on to raise over $4 billion in capital and, since they represent more than 150 countries, create truly global change. Our teams are transforming dozens of industries and creating meaningful impact that spans the private, public, and nonprofit sectors.

As we look toward the next decade, our mission remains to foster an innovation ecosystem across all 13 Harvard schools — one that inspires, connects, and advances innovative ideas and leaders. With more than 1,000 students in our Membership program, a growing number of alumni ventures in our Launch Lab X GEO program, and a vibrant community of biotech and life science ventures at the Pagliuca Harvard Life Lab, each day we witness the power of bringing diverse, creative groups of entrepreneurs together. It’s been remarkable to see the collective impact our community has made. And yet, we know that our work is only just beginning. Today, we celebrate how far we’ve come while staying focused on the future.

To our students, alumni, mentors and advisors, and everyone exploring innovation with us, thank you for being part of our community.

100 Ventures Redefining our Future

Over the past decade, 2,500+ ventures have been founded at the Harvard Innovation Labs by Harvard students, alumni, and faculty across a broad range of industries. Their impact can be felt across the globe.

In 2022, we highlighted 100 incredible ventures that have come out of our ecosystem, 10 for each of our 10 years of existence, to give you a taste of the change they are making in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. These select ventures truly represent the vision and heart at the center of our work.
