15.399 Entrepreneurship Lab
MIT Sloan’s Entrepreneurship Lab (E-Lab) student teams, drawn from MIT, Harvard, and Wellesley work with the founders of high-tech startups on projects of strategic importance. The goal is for students to gain experience with fast-paced startup companies, and to apply their academic knowledge to the problems faced by entrepreneurial firms in a context of uncertainty, extreme time pressures, and decision making based on limited information.
Startups are typically tech-intensive, intellectual property-based, massively scalable, have fewer than 40 employees, and have at least one round of outside funding. Popular sectors include (but are not limited to) software, hardware, robotics, cleantech, and life sciences.
