"At the MS/MBA Technology Showcase, I shared our story and our mission with my classmates, our advisors, and the broader MS/MBA community. Late hours spent doing customer interviews, applications submitted between MBA classes, and our multiple pivots all felt entirely worth it when I saw that my idea had resonated with this crowd. As we settle into our experiments and MVP (minimal viable product) building this summer, we're excited to see our ambitious hopes for the future come to life. My EC (second) year at HBS will be spent focusing largely on growth, scale, and financing so I can focus on this full-time after graduation." —Lizzie Matusov (#HBS2022) Learn more about @lizziechka's experience at the MS/MBA Technology Showcase: hbs.me/msmba-showcase21 (link in bio)
