Harvard University elects new Launch Lab X cohort

Harvard Innovation Labs

Harvard University, a New England Council member, elected its cohort of students to participate in the Launch Lab X program—a career launch pad for entrepreneurs.

The program received hundreds of applications but only 19 lucky venturers were elected to participate in the rigorous school program.

“From rethinking how technology can be used for election voting to exploring how AI can help improve elementary education access and quality,” said Thara Pillai, director of alumni programs and engagement at the Harvard Innovation Labs. “2024–2025 Launch Lab X participants are working on complex and meaningful issues in their respective industries.”

Launch Lab X will pair its participants with key figures in the Harvard Alumni network to boost the students’ entrepreneurial projects. It will also give students access to workshops, coaching, and other services.

The New England Council commends Harvard University for this excellent new program.
