Let's Get Coffee was selected for the Harvard Business School Foundry Bootcamp
An eight-week program for founders, built on founders meeting founders. It's hard to think of a better fit.
We're glad to share that Let's Get Coffee was selected for the Harvard Business School Foundry Bootcamp, Fall 2026 cohort. The Bootcamp is an eight-week program for founders run by HBS Foundry, Harvard Business School's platform for people building new ventures. This cohort runs from October 5 to December 1, 2026.
What the Bootcamp is
It's a structured, mostly online program that walks a venture through the fundamentals in order: getting clear on the problem, mapping the market, validating with the people who actually live the problem, and shaping the pitch. Alongside the learning platform there are live sessions with Foundry staff, HBS faculty, and experienced founders, plus a community space where founders in the cohort get to know each other and each other's ventures.
Why we applied
Let's Get Coffee answers one question for every member of a community: who should I meet next? We think that question deserves rigor. A program that asks us to state our assumptions out loud and then test them, one sprint at a time, is exactly the discipline we want while the product is young and the decisions compound.
A cohort of founders who'd never have met otherwise, introduced on purpose. That's the product we build, so we're happy to be on the receiving end of it.
There's a nice symmetry, too. The most valuable part of programs like this is rarely the curriculum alone. It's the people you meet because someone put you in the same room. That's the whole idea behind how Let's Get Coffee works.
What it means for the people we serve
- Nothing about how the product treats you changes. Trust and joy still come first: you stay in control of what you share and how often you take part.
- You'll see what we learn show up in the product. The point of eight weeks of validation is to get sharper about what communities, schools, alumni networks, and teams actually need.
- If you run a community and want to tell us what's hard about getting your people to meet, we'd love to hear it. Get in touch.
To be precise about what this is: a program we were selected for and are taking part in. It isn't an investment, a partnership, or an endorsement from Harvard. We'll simply be building better for it.
