“Participating in the Harvard / MIT Case Competition was a great experience for RelayRides. As a recently launched startup, we’re running a million miles a minute and so it’s hard to find the time and objectivity to pull back and tackle some of the biggest strategic questions facing us. The students from the competition helped us frame one of our most important pressing issues, how to expand, and we will certainly use their insightful recommendations as we make these upcoming critical decisions.”
