Harvard Innovation Labs (abbreviated i-lab) is an official cross-disciplinary entrepreneurship and innovation incubation platform operated by Harvard University. Rooted in Harvard’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, it serves student and alumni entrepreneurs from all 12 of Harvard’s schools, covers a wide range of fields including technology, healthcare, climate change, and social innovation, and is a flagship program of top global university entrepreneurship incubation systems.
The platform is divided into three dedicated sections: Student i-lab for enrolled students, Alumni Launch Lab for alumni founders, and Pagliuca Harvard Life Lab, a shared wet lab space for biotech projects. It provides phased entrepreneurial support including mentorship, investment and fundraising matching, entrepreneurship training, and physical co-working space, and also hosts the annual global President’s Innovation Challenge startup competition. Public data shows that since 2011, the platform has incubated more than 6,500 projects, which have raised a cumulative total of over $9 billion. It ranks second globally among university entrepreneurship programs for total portfolio funding, with extremely strong incubation outcomes.
Pros: Backed by Harvard University’s unrivaled academic, talent and network resources, the platform has a mature, well-developed incubation system with high market recognition for its outcomes. At the same time, the website freely shares a large volume of entrepreneurship resources and case studies that any user around the world can access and reference for free.
Cons: Core incubation and workspace services are only open to Harvard students, faculty and alumni, so external founders cannot participate. Additionally, the website only supports English, which is not user-friendly for Chinese-language users.
The website is currently directly accessible from China, and all public content loads normally. It is a great resource for Chinese founders and university entrepreneurship incubation practitioners to learn from one of the world’s top systems.
