Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship

If you’re not sure if entrepreneurship is achievable, just look in the Trust Center window.

Glad to welcome Front Row Fantasy for their test draft at the Trust Center today! Ideated as "fantasy football for emerging musical artists," Front Row Fantasy is an MIT-born start up by Sloan MBA Blake Blaze.

Mitch Kapor, founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is clear-eyed about the risks of AI, but his view is “it's still going to require people to do the interesting creative things that require judgement.”

The best advice for an MIT undergraduate interested in entrepreneurship? “Take the philosophy course, the creative writing course…” Peter Walker, head of insights at @CartaInc, says there is real value in breadth of knowledge and experience.

Huge thanks to Peter Walker, Carta’s Head of Insights, for joining our Spring 2024 Speaker Series this week! With a packed house, it’s clear that students are eager to dive into the world of startup equity and VC trends. An great talk from an industry expert! #Startups #VC

Love this story from delta V alum Erik Duhaime about wasting early board meetings trying to squeeze out a few extra dollars... (before realizing the real value was in the advice.) Sometimes the best lessons come from recognizing your own mistakes. #startups #mit

First day of MIT Fuse! A big focus of the program is PMR - talking to customers to figure out where to go next. I went to a language learning meetup in Boston tonight to talk to some of my target population, met some great people. @MIT @EshipMIT @song_lingo

AI data centers consume massive amounts of energy, but delta V alums Vertical Horizons are changing that. Using tech developed at MIT, they’re improving energy efficiency for AI microchips — the same innovation behind your iPhone’s fast charging.

“People aren’t going to lose their jobs to #AI, they’ll lose them to those who know how to use AI better. So we have to teach this as a skill set.” – @BillAulet of @EshipMIT at today’s BIG.AI@MIT @mit_ide @Accenture

“Entrepreneurship is a craft, not a science. What you create has to be new, so it can’t be studied based on previous examples. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be teachable at scale.” – @BillAulet of @EshipMIT at today’s BIG.AI@MIT @mit_ide @Accenture

The Certificate in Aerospace Innovation program gives students the tools and confidence to be aerospace entrepreneurs during an inflection point in the industry. Run in partnership with @EShipMIT, the program is currently running its fourth cohort. ow.ly/zUkf50U97yR
