What Accelerator Participants say:
“Emergence equipped me with the tools to align my scientific expertise with a clear vision for social impact, enabling me to envision my venture not just as a biotech/pharma company, but as a catalyst for positive change in global health.”
“I felt so seen and lifted up by the team and founders in the Accelerator, and grateful to have been part of something truly special. I feel braver and more confident to go into the world and share my work, knowing I have a vibrant and trailblazing community of leaders, mentors and fellow founders to fall back on and to get re-energized and inspired by.”
“Emergence was a deeply important space for me during my time at the GSB. It was so affirming to be surrounded by a community of impact-first entrepreneurs and exciting to be given tools to scale sustainable models for impact.”
