Harvard iLab just kicked off its latest cohort of ventures this week. During the summer term of its Venture Incubation Program (VIP), 63 startups will work for 12 weeks, calling Allston and the coworking space on Harvard Business School's campus home.
As you're about to see, the latest round of iLab startups run the gamut in terms of industries - from medical to education, consumer tech to social good. And all of them are at different stages of development. The only commonality: They all have founders currently enrolled at Harvard.
