Paul Bottino

I worked with Harvard student-founders from 2000 to 2025, through the Technology & Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard, which I co-founded, and through my startup course, ES95r: Startup R&D from 2012 to 2025. Helping students discover how they want to create value in their lives and shape their ideas into emerging companies and nonprofits has been my work-life’s passion. I'll always be happy to talk to you about whatever you imagine as a better world! 

Before Harvard, I was a new venture and intellectual property attorney in Boston; graduated from Choate Rosemary Hall, Middlebury College, and Suffolk University Law School; and grew up in Bethany, Connecticut.

At Winthrop, you can find me in the dining hall talking ideas, in the music room making noise, in the art room making things, and in the exercise room making an effort - let’s connect!
