Bio
Jesse Knight
Elizabeth Stewart crushed all expectations in building out the Harmony Labs accelerator program. I was fortunate enough to work with her during the Accelerator launch, when we evaluated several hundred applicants for the first cohort in the program, ultimately selected four companies to participate, and then guided those companies through an intensive three-month program to optimize their business and velocity. She utilized her extensive product management and start-up business experience throughout the process, teaching all of us at Harmony along the way. It was truly a pleasure to work with Elizabeth.

I was fortunate to work with Elizabeth as a member of the first cohort for the Harmony Labs Accelerator. The accelerator's impact on our organization and the many valuable relationships we formed throughout the program are due, in large part, to Elizabeth's wealth of knowledge and tireless efforts. Her insights, expertise, and network make her a standout within an emerging, but critically necessary industry.
