harvard just turned its startup bootcamp into an ai-powered simulation lab. for $699, the HBS Foundry program gives founders ai avatars of real harvard instructors that critique your pitch and run mock board meetings in real time.
the wildest part — the avatars aren't just canned responses. they act as stand-ins during practice pitches, giving live feedback on market sizing, delivery, and strategy. basically a 24/7 pitch coach that never gets tired of your bad slides.
