Entrepreneurship at MIT Sloan

The digital adviser helps users swiftly navigate the 24-step Disciplined Entrepreneurship process.

These alumni entrepreneurs are applying MIT know-how to keep goods out of landfills, reduce energy costs in recycling, and provide safe sanitation.

This Entrepreneurial Strategy Compass from MIT Sloan helps startups avoid conflicting advice and choose the right path to commercialization.

Research labs must move beyond passive spillovers and become active launchpads for new companies that leverage federally funded research, say Gene R. Keselman, lecturer, and Dame Fiona Murray, associate dean of innovation, both from MIT Sloan.

MIT’s singular passion for entrepreneurship is inspiring, energizing, a little bit exhausting, and a whole lot of fun. This passion is also an essential element of our strategy to organize for positive impact and transform our world.
