#FAFTF x HBS

This week's Fridays Are For The Founders focuses on the great startups and diverse founders we met last night at the Harvard Business School New Venture Competition.

Special thank you to Nina Wanerman @ the HBS Club of NY for the invitation!

There were 24 startups pitching, raising capital and just telling their story and some of the best (n=2) that we liked were:

Priva a Managed Marketplace & Clearinghouse for Regional Business travel

Givz where customers can round up their purchase for large donations to ANY charity

Noodie Foods which makes shelf stable, nutritious food (had their amazing ramen)

Bookmarkz where you can take all of the hassle of scheduling dates to meet with your book club, picking books, getting questions to discuss and do so much more!

This was a great event and it always is exciting to meet brilliant, gritty founders and hear their stories. Bonus points for the excellent SWAG we got too.

Can't wait for the next event. If you want to hear more about any of these companies (who are probably raising $$$) reach out.
