Harvard Innovation Labs: Startups & Entrepreneurship

“Our world is more isolated and lonely than ever before. We need more remote work opportunities and a greater sense of connectedness and meaning. Naya strives to be a digital studio and ecosystem that can facilitate a sense of community, collaboration, and connection across the world at a time when we need it most.” - Saad Rajan and Vivek HV, of @naya__studio

cofounder.co

cofounder.co is a new innovative entity to help startups and entrepreneurs reach their full potential in the Bay Area. We are a group of experienced partners with founder/CEO and investor experience. Raj Kapoor is the first founding partner (others will be added later) and will work very closely with a few tech startups that either reside in the Bay Area or want to relocate there. With cofounder.co, a partner joins the company as a cofounder at the earliest stages and spends the equivalent of one day a week helping in all areas of the company including financing, recruiting, strategy, product development, and mentoring the CEO. It's a much deeper and focused involvement than most angels, advisors, and accelerators and for a longer period of time. As a minority cofounder shareholder in the company, we bring commitment and more importantly, the valuable experience that high potential entrepreneurs may be missing. See Raj's blog www.vcinme.typepad.comfor for more information and check out his Linkedin profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/rajil
