MIT Entrepreneurship Center
- MIT Entrepreneurship Center
The MIT Entrepreneurship Center is one of the largest research and teaching centers at the MIT Sloan School of Management. It was founded in the early 1990's and charged with the mission to develop MIT's entrepreneurial activities and interests in education and research, alliances, and the community.
The E-Center focuses on commercializing technologies that are invented by MIT faculty and labs. To this end, the E-Center supports 1) the annual MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition, and 2) student groups called Innovation Teams. Both groups are designed to support internal MIT faculty and labs by organizing resources relevant to entrepreneurship.
The E-Center does not offer resources to companies founded by MIT students, because its mission is focused solely on MIT faculty and labs. MIT students who wish to start their own companies are instead enouraged to contact MIT's Venture Mentor matching service.
The current managing director of the center is Kenneth Morse, one of the founders of 3Com.
The center was founded by MIT Professor, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist Edward B. Roberts, a co-founder of Meditech, Zero Stage Capital, and Sohu.com among other companies.
