  William Aulet is a Senior Lecturer and Managing Director in the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

  He conceived, developed, and teaches an MIT graduate-level class called “Energy Ventures,” which explores the new brand of entrepreneurship and innovation required to meet the energy challenge. He is also the chairman of the MIT Clean Energy Prize.

  A highly accomplished business leader, Aulet has a long track record of success. For over 25 years, he has raised more than $100 million in funding for his companies and has directly created hundreds of millions of dollars in market value. Aulet started his career at IBM and after 11 years was named a prestigious MIT Sloan Fellow. Upon graduation, he became a serial entrepreneur running two MIT spinouts as the president/chief executive officer of both Cambridge Decision Dynamics and then SensAble Technologies. The latter became a two-time Inc. Magazine 500 Fastest-Growing Private Company. With a presence in over 20 countries, SensAble also won more than 24 awards and was featured in Fortune Magazine, BusinessWeek, The Wall Street Journal, and many other publications for its innovative products and strong business foundation.

  In 2003, Aulet was recruited as chief financial officer to help turn around Viisage Technology, a security technology company with a dual focus in the areas of drivers’ licenses and facial recognition. During his tenure of two and a half years, Viisage developed a new strategy, overhauled its operations, made three major acquisitions, and executed two major fundraising rounds totaling over $55 million, including a highly successful public offering. During this time, the market value for Viisage increased from approximately $50 million to over $500 million.

  Aulet works around the world with single entrepreneurs trying to launch new ventures, and with large corporations—such as Danfoss, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Mobilink, and Saudi Aramco—seeking to achieve their goals through entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, and innovation. He also serves on the board of directors or advisors for a number of companies. Aulet is a regularly featured speaker at management leadership programs on topics such as entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, entrepreneurial marketing, technology innovation, creating sustainable and rapid profitable growth, financing strategies, and operational excellence. He also contributes as an Xconomist on these subjects to the popular and respected blog: http://www.xconomy.com/. A former professional basketball player, Aulet lives in Belmont, Massachusetts with his wife and four sons.

  Aulet holds a BS in engineering from Harvard University and an MMS in business management from the MIT Sloan School of Management. (less)

  Matt Marx is an Assistant Professor of Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management at MIT Sloan. Drawing on his own experience working in both Silicon Valley and Boston startups, he studies systematic, institutional barriers to the growth of new ventures.

In other work, he examines strategy formation in new ventures as well as the allocation of equity among co-founders.

  Professor Marx was previously an inventor and an executive at multiple startup companies in the speech recognition industry. As VP of professional services at Tellme Networks, he led a team of 75 in growing annualized revenue from $5MM to over $100MM.

  Fiona Murray's research interests focus on entrepreneurship and the commercialization of science. She has done extensive work on the policies and programs that shape vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystems including prizes, accelerators, patent licensing rules and proof of concept funding programs. She is broadly interested in the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in regional competitiveness. After a short time on the faculty of Oxford University’s Said Business School, Murray joined MIT Sloan. She teaches the “Innovation Teams” course, which assembles cross-disciplinary teams of students from across MIT to learn the process of science and technology commercialization, with a focus on evaluating a technology’s potential for significant commercial and social impact.

  Murray works with a range of firms, designing global organizations that are both commercially successful and deeply engaged with their regional ecosystem-including linkages to scientists and entrepreneurs. Her recent engagements have focused on relationships that span the public and private sectors. She is particularly interested in emerging organizational arrangements for effective innovation-driven entrepreneurship, including public-private partnerships, not-for profits, venture philanthropy, and university-initiated seed funding. Murray is well known for her academic work on how growing economic incentives influence the rate and direction of scientific progress. She is actively involved in U.S. and European policy discussions regarding the appropriate use of intellectual property and licensing in universities, the role of entrepreneurship education and mechanisms to build entrepreneurial capacity. Her research has been widely published in a diverse range of scientific and social science journals, including Science, the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Biotechnology, Research Policy, Organization Science, and the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization.

  Murray holds a BA in chemistry from Merton College, University of Oxford, and an MS in engineering sciences and a PhD in applied sciences from Harvard University. (less)
