Some of Harker’s Honors Entrepreneurship students got in front of some of Silicon Valley’s most important executives when they sat on a panel at the Association for Corporate Growth Silicon Valley (ACGSV) 2019 GROW Awards in mid-April. The organization bills itself as the premier organization for C-suite leaders in Silicon Valley. The GROW awards recognize the outstanding growth company and top emerging growth company in the area.

This year’s awards ceremony celebrated leadership and the role Silicon Valley plays as an international hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. Four young entrepreneurs from Harker formed a roundtable, moderated by ALOM CEO Hannah Kain.  The four students were Riya Gupta and Nishka Ayyar, both grade 12, from PromElle, and Andrew Sun, grade 10 and Suraj Pakala, grade 12, from Nanoseed.
