  • Harvard i-lab | Perspectives Informed by Experience: Athletes and Other Stakeholders on Technology

    We are in the midst of a revolution in how athletes train, perform, and heal. Advances in mobile technology, AI, Big Data, sensors, GPS, and more have allowed humans to stretch the limits of their athletic capabilities and have merged the worlds of statistics and sports in manners unimaginable just a decade ago.

    Uploaded 10-03-17

    With unprecedented teamwork from those who have achieved success in the athletic arena to those whose achievements occur behind the closed doors of research labs, hospitals, and beyond, we are able to use data collected from the human body to monitor, measure, and predict athlete training and performance like never before.

    During this event, the Harvard Innovation Labs, together with the Sports Innovation Lab and the OneTeam Collective, will explore the future of this dynamic, cross-industry, and fast-growing sector of sports technology.

  • Harvard i-lab | "Green Card Strategies and New Opportunities for Foreign Entrepreneurs"

    Jeff Goldman an Immigration Lawyer from Boston taught a workshop entitled "Green Card Strategies and New Opportunities for Foreign Entrepreneurs," in April 2012 at the Harvard innovation lab.

    Uploaded 04-09-12

    In his presentation, Goldman discussed how the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced that the H-1B nonimmigrant and National Interest Waiver immigrant visa categories will now be more friendly to foreign national entrepreneurs who are creating jobs in the US. This interactive workshop helped to clarify the viability of this new initiative; offered foreign national entrepreneurs a road-map which may make all the difference when filing immigration petitions; and helped start-up companies understand where they are heading when they have key personnel who have immigration considerations. Goldman shared strategies for documenting "significant impact in the field" required for National Interest Waivers; how an entrepreneur with his/her own start-up can prove a legitimate "employer—employee" relationship that is required for H-1B; and the best timing for filing immigration petitions.

  • Harvard i-lab | Creating Your Minimum Viable Product with Abby Fichtner

    Do you have an idea for a startup but aren't quite sure where or how to start on your product? You can't just ask people what they want -- that's a great way to send yourself spinning in 50 different directions. And you can't just go off and start building the product you envision -- 9 out of 10 new products fail and If You Build It, They Will Come is not the path to success.

    Uploaded 22-04-13

    Creating Minimum Viable Products allows you to quickly test out the assumptions you're making about your business, validate that customers are indeed interested in -- and willing to pay for -- your solution, and help you to prioritize your product's features. Hear case studies on what other, well-known startups have done and learn a number of MVP tools you can use to get your startup on the path to viability.
