We aim to advance knowledge & educate students in innovation-driven entrepreneurship that best serves our current world.
About us
Entrepreneurship is a craft that can be taught. Our focus is the education of MIT students to whom we provide proven frameworks, courses, co-curricular programs, state-of-the-art facilities, advisory services, and processes to create a rigorous, practical, customized, and integrated educational experience. We accept and welcome our leadership role to advance the field at MIT as well as globally. Trust Center Values include: MIT STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE AND RIGOR: We provide the highest-quality education, advising, and practical experiences. COLLABORATION: We work closely with other MIT departments, labs, centers, and groups to connect students with the best entrepreneurship programming across the Institute. DIVERSITY: Entrepreneurship requires diversity of opinion and diversity of people. Throughout our courses, advising, and programming, we combine a range of critical perspectives. EXPERIMENTATION: Each year we try new programs and activities. If we fail, we learn in the process. When we succeed, we aim to scale rapidly. HONEST BROKER: Neither the Center nor its faculty or staff take a "piece" of the new companies that we nurture and assist. Our only goal is the student's long-term entrepreneurial success. MENS ET MANUS: True to the motto of MIT, in all of our courses and throughout our activities, we operate on a hybrid model that fuses academic and practitioner perspectives.

"If you're not using AI, you're not going to make it!" The great Eric Schmidt recently said. A.I. tools are no longer a bonus to have they're absolutely essential if your business is to survive in a brutally competitive business environment. I always get excited at the opportunity to showcase the great A.I. tools currently being developed MIT to solve the most difficult problems out there. Last week, Doug Williams and I had the great honor of showcasing the powerful A.I. jetpack tools currently being developed and deployed at the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship using the Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework. We presented at the Visionaries & Ventures Convention hosted by Harvard Law Entrepreneurship Project at the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Boston. It was great to see and hear the amazing ideas founders like Zeeshan Shaikh are working on. Special thanks to the incredible Doug Williams, Bobby Stroup, Zeeshan Shaikh, Harvard Law Entrepreneurship Project, Paul Cheek, Bill Aulet, Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, Harvard Law School, Harvard University and the mighty Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Let’s go Lyme Alert!
🚀 Launching LymeAlert from the Lab to Our Beachhead Market 🌟 NIH Entrepreneurship Bootcamp: A Catalyst for Continuous Customer Discovery! 🌟 🎉 In October, we finished the amazing Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship #delta v accelerator, and our LymeAlert team isn’t slowing down! 🙌 Last week, Erin Dawicki and I presented our interview findings at the close-out meeting of The National Institutes of Health Entrepreneurship Bootcamp.⚕ 🔦 🔎 The virtual boot camp met once a week over eight weeks. The instruction centered on the same Business Model Canvas used by the National Science Foundation I-CORPS program, with a deep dive into customer discovery using a diverse set of very practical tools. 🛠 The program also provided one-on-one mentorship sessions with a seasoned I-CORPS mentor and entrepreneur. We are very grateful to 🤩 Aprille Busch for sharing her deft customer interview techniques and thoughtful, tailored advice! 🤝 Every other week, we had “Pod” meetings, during which we made great connections with inspiring, like-minded teams and gained a clearer path to navigating the NIH SEED #SBIR #STTR program. 🙏 A huge thank you to the mentors, organizers, and participants who made this journey so rewarding. If your start-up is focused on healthcare, I strongly recommend that you consider the opportunity! 💙 😎 We’re more energized than ever to bring innovative solutions to the fight against Lyme disease! #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #SBIR #Startups #CrushingLymeDisease #NIH #Cohort2Pod7 Osetomics, LLC Lightbox Science, Inc. #LotusBiosciences #NelambosLLC #AAHealthTeam #BioWraptor Brenda Ong Lewis Shotton

Not a bad deal 😏
By applying to the 2025 MIT Climate & Energy Prize, you’ll gain exclusive access to tools developed by MIT to help accelerate your entrepreneurial journey. For example, one of the tools you’ll gain access to is Jetpack AI, a generative AI tool trained on Professor Bill Aulet’s 24-step “Disciplined Entrepreneurship”, created by the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship (Paul Cheek and Doug Williams). The virtual assistant is meant to "jetpack" your iterative ideation process. While you'll still conduct primary market research, interpret, and test the results in the field, this tool helps you refine your strategy faster and more effectively. If you are a student or postdoc with just an idea, or a startup ready to spin out of lab, you will benefit from this tool and the other resources MIT CEP can offer. Apply now at cep.mit.edu/apply (Early Applicant Deadline Dec. 2)

Check out the great work StackAI is doing in the LLM space!
When Bill Aulet calls, you simply go. That’s what happened a few weeks ago when I was invited to join a panel at MIT to discuss entrepreneurship and AI with students. I’m truly honored to return to campus—this time as a panelist—and share the stage with Jack O'Brien, Andres Garza, George Whitfield!! My takeaways from the event: 🚀 EVERYONE is filled with excitement and optimism - students, panelists, professors … there’s never been a better time to build 🤖 No one really knows where the industry is headed, but who cares!! 🛠️ If you’re building something people want, you’re on the right track Bernard was also on campus giving a lecture for an MIT Executive Education class... StackAI is clearly attracted by MIT, and vice versa 😄 It was also great to catch up with Doug, Amrutha and the rest of the MTC crew!
