ATRX is pleased to announce that we’ve been accepted into the Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs Accelerator! We’re looking forward to partnering with world-renowned mentors, technical advisors and investors, getting to know the founders of the other amazing companies in our cohort, and connecting with the global Harvard entrepreneurial community.
