Harvard Business School is selling a $699 bootcamp where AI avatars of its instructors critique your pitch
TechCrunch·medium signal
HBS Foundry is an eight-week program with live weekly instructor sessions, where HeyGen-built avatars of faculty give feedback during practice pitches and simulated board meetings. Katharina Rings is project director; Flybridge Capital co-founder Jeff Bussgang is among those with an avatar. One participant described the avatar's "noticeably frozen smile" during pitches, which is roughly where the tech is, though TechCrunch reports students value the always-available feedback anyway.
