The Entrepreneurship Forum teamed up with Harvard Student Agencies and the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard (TECH) to establish the challenge. Segal said it is the College’s first large-scale business and innovation competition. Segal said that I^3 places Harvard on par with other renowned business plan competitions including MIT’s 100K Entrepreneurship Competition and the Harvard Business School’s Business Plan Contest. What distinguishes I^3, Segal said, is its undergraduate and multi-track...
