Harvard Alumni: the 2026 HAE Accelerator Cohort

Over the past several months, we’ve had the privilege of meeting extraordinary founders from across the Harvard ecosystem. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to the 2026 cohort of the HAE Accelerator powered by Pegasus Tech Ventures. 

These twelve Harvard alumni startups represent exactly why we built this program: founders operating with discipline, momentum, and clarity — and ready to scale work that matters.
