Hello World!

I’m Lucas. I studied CS and Econ at Harvard.

I co-founded the largest student-run COVID research non-profit, Erevna.us, before raising millions from Mark Cuban, a16z CSS, and HF0, the most selective incubator on earth.

I graduated from Harvard, where I studied Econ and CS and took 60 courses!

I conducted research Census Bureau's Open Innovation Labs, Steve Ballmer's USAFacts, and Opportunity Insights, which helped save over $20b.

I’ve organized dozens of hackathons, and I founded Harvard.co, the Harvard Hacker House. Every Harvard or MIT founder who has lived here has raised millions, for a total of over $50m. Alumni from the house have started a dozen houses, and the community has raised over $200m.

I've organized over 30 hackathons, and won a few, like CamelHacks, HBS Peregrine Hacks, and MIT Energy Climate Hack.

I'm a founding member of Frontier Tower, V11, District.xyz, and Lightyear.cv, the nicest startup incubator in the world

Most recently, I

• led Growth at Believe.app, where I'm proud to have distributed over $5M in credits to startups and helped generate over $10m in profit over my two month stint.
• worked for Peter Diamandis
• cofounded a company at HF0

Background

I grew up in NY, and went to Harvard. I took a gap year to cofound DAOHQ, the world's first DAO marketplace, which was acquhired in 2023. Over Spring 2023, I incubated an AI protocol at a16z’s Crypto Startup School, which I was bought out of. That summer, I helped found https://cerebralvalley.ai and run hackathons with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face.

In my junior year, I took 20 courses, and I have worked on over 20 research projects for research partners like Stanford GSB Venture Capital Initiative, McKinsey, and Steve Ballmer's USAFacts. I also organized a campus-wide datathon with the metaLAB and supported by the Harvard Data Science Initiative (making me one of the youngest researchers at Harvard many times).

I’ve organized over 30 hackathons:
