Through lectures by senior MIT faculty, visits to local startup companies, and live case studies with successful entrepreneurs, participants will be exposed to the content, context, and contacts that enable entrepreneurs to design and launch successful new ventures based on innovative technologies. Specially designed team projects give participants hands-on training and practical experience developing a business plan, while networking events bring participants together with members of MIT’s entrepreneurial community. During the program, you will use a custom-developed generative AI tool that leverages the 24-step Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework to create a robust and refined business plan at record speed.
