If you’ve ever tried to turn an idea into something real — a product, a venture, a program — you know that the gap between inspiration and execution can feel huge.
This collection can help close that gap. It offers expert strategic guidance you can actually use, whether you’re launching a startup or building something new inside a larger organization.
Here at MIT Sloan, we know that entrepreneurship is a discipline that can be learned. It’s something our faculty members prove every day through their research, teaching, and hands-on work with founders and corporate innovators.
Entrepreneurship isn’t just about having a big idea. It’s about figuring out how to shape it, share it, and scale it. And that’s a skill you can develop.
Inside you will find:
- The Entrepreneurial Strategy Compass, to help you avoid conflicting advice and choose the right path to commercialization.
- Six important questions to ask at the outset of your entrepreneurial journey.
- A preview of generative artificial intelligence tools trained on MIT entrepreneurship frameworks.
- Advice from MIT entrepreneurs on navigating AI, the economy, and uncertainty.
- A reading list of four MIT books on entrepreneurship and innovation.
