Please join us for the Startup Bootcamp Information Session on
Monday, September 15th, 2025, from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm in Aldrich 208
Applications will Open on Monday September 15th 2025 at 7:00pm close on October 2nd 2025 at 11:59pm ET
Program Requirements
(1) Teams must be composed of 3 or 4 first-year (RC) HBS MBA candidates.
If a member of your team drops the program after acceptance, and as a result your team drops below 3 members, your team will be disqualified from participating in Startup Bootcamp. This is just one of the many reasons we strongly encourage teams of 4!
(2) Given the format and the Bootcamp's focus on pre-seed ventures, concepts must be at an early stage of development.
(3) Students must submit a Team Application by October 2nd at 11:59 pm. Teams will be notified by Tuesday, October 7th at 9am of admissions decisions.
(4) Admitted students must commit to attending and fully participating in all Bootcamp sessions, which include:
Fall workshop, November 1, 2025;
January Immersion, January 16 – 23, 2026 ( Weekend days included with Monday 1/16 off for MLK holiday)
Note: During Bootcamp, teams will frequently be asked to present work-in-progress to peers, instructors, and mentors—including Boston-area investors and entrepreneurs. We will ask all Bootcamp attendees to respect confidentiality, but teams who are not comfortable disclosing their venture plans to peers and guest instructors should not seek admission.
