Members Benefits

Each year, the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition cycle runs from October through May. The competition is hosted as a series of three distinct and increasingly intensive contests: Pitch, Accelerate, and Launch. Each contest is geared towards startups at different stages of readiness and maturity, from the ideation phase with Pitch to market-ready ventures with Launch. Our contests this year will focus as always on helping MIT entrepreneurs to develop specific founding skills, and to connect select teams with an expert network of resource - including mentorship from venture capitalists, serial entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and attorneys - as well as media exposure, prototyping funds, business plan feedback, and discounted services. Additionally, more than $150K in non-dilutive awards will be distributed to help these new ventures accelerate. Our organizing team will experience the benefits of: a. A rich and rewarding experience that enhances their professional and personal growth. b. Unparalleled access to the vibrant MIT entrepreneurship community, opportunities to network with industry leaders, investors, and seasoned entrepreneurs. c. Play a pivotal role in fostering innovation and supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.
