About Event

Celebrate the launch of Pillar VC's annual $1M Moonshot Competition with the Harvard community! There will be plenty of food and drinks as well as the opportunity to network with the Pillar VC team.

Moonshot invites Harvard students, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty to apply to receive up to a $1M uncapped SAFE for their startup or idea. We launched this competition because we believe many of the most transformative ideas across software, hardware, AI, robotics, climate, biotech, and more are forming inside research labs, MBA programs, and undergraduate dorm rooms.

Learn more and apply by Sunday, March 2nd: https://moonshot.pillar.vc/
