OUR MISSION:
The Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs (HAE) is dedicated to the advancement of entrepreneurship, the promotion of innovation, and the ideals of leadership and learning. We are a 501(c)3, volunteer-run, Shared Interest Group of the Harvard Alumni Association. Since our beginnings in 2000, HAE has served as a meeting place for entrepreneurial alumni, students, faculty, and staff from all of Harvard's schools.

The Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs celebrates the entire life cycle of being an entrepreneur. We catalyze living legacies by facilitating the transfer of wisdom from one generation of entrepreneurs to the next. We host an active online community, networking, lectures, mentorship, and many other resources.

The most important opportunity available we offer is the HAE membership itself. Join HAE and you join an extensive network of both aspiring and accomplished entrepreneurs.
