Thank you to all of our supporters over the years. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close Harrison Bertolo due to ongoing operating costs and limited funding. As part of this transition, any products and services that can be made available for free will be released. Our CEO has also shared a personal goodbye message on behalf of the organization. This page will remain available to remember and celebrate all that we have accomplished. Once again, thank you for your support.
What can happen in a year? In April of 2025, after a year of market research, customer discovery, and prototyping, we launched Harrison Bertolo Corporation. We soon applied for 501(c)(3) status and began our go-to-market strategy. In December of 2025, we achieved our most significant milestone, receiving 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Over the past year, I had the experience of hiring interns, leading board meetings, pitching to donors, raising awareness for our mission, and publishing an app on the App Store. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close Harrison Bertolo. Ongoing operating costs and limited funding have made it unsustainable to continue the mission. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank all of our supporters, especially the W&M Entrepreneurship Hub for supporting us in our mission to promote entrepreneurship education in underserved communities. It has been an honor to work alongside my partner, Blake Bertolo, and so many other students at William & Mary. As our motto says, “Fortes Fortuna Adiuvat” - “Fortune Favors the Bold.” I hope our story serves as inspiration to what can be achieved in a year. Pursue your passions. Follow your dreams. Start your venture. You will be surprised by what you can do. Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of freedom. Harrison Bertolo has been part of my entrepreneurial journey, and I am ready for what lies ahead. I am free.
