Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs premia Avix Medical all’HAE Accelerator

-


What a way to close out the HAE Accelerator. On May 13, more than 230 investors, founders, operators, and community members showed up for Demo Day 2026 and the energy was real. From healthcare innovation and AI to civic engagement, gaming, fintech, and mental wellness, this cohort brought bold ideas, sharp execution, and serious momentum. Every founder showed up ready to build, and investor conversations started almost immediately.
Huge congratulations to Avix Medical and founder Aditya Ranganathan (Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences) for taking the top spot. Avix Medical is building Catalina: a portable device designed to deliver early breast cancer detection in just 60 seconds.
Big thank you as well to our judges for the thoughtful feedback, tough questions, and continued support of the HAE founder community.
Boyd Carson – Peter Dolch – Moha Shah
We could not be more proud of the 2026 cohort. Incredible founders. Incredible community. Incredible way to end the program.
