• Underlying Foundation: 150 years of MIT’s “mens et manus” culture
Entrepreneurship at MIT The primary growth of the MIT Entrepreneurial Ecosystem has occurred during the past 20 years. MIT Entrepreneurship Center (founded in 1990, now the Trust Center): Classes (with a consistent philosophy): From 1 to >30 in 20 years Clubs, including MIT $100K Business Plan Competition (began in 1990 as the $10K); thousands of student participants Conferences, and many forms of internal and external networking Past decade broadening and growth of MIT’s entrepreneurship institutions Venture Mentoring Service (2000) MIT Deshpande Center (2002) MIT Sloan Entrepreneurship & Innovation MBA Track (2006) Legatum Center for Development & Entrepreneurship (2007) Growth of Media Lab Entrepreneurship Subjects
MIT rivals any university in the world as the “Best in Practice”

We Teach Entrepreneurship: “Mens et Manus” philosophy “Dual track” faculty: Theory and practice, academics and successful entrepreneurs & VCs; paired in classes whenever possible Integrate class enrollments across campus: i.e., management students with scientists and engineers; classes centrally located on campus whenever possible Heavy emphasis on real-world mixed-team projects Strongly encourage students to enter MIT $100K, Clean Energy, and several other business plan competitions

Large Number of Entrepreneurship-Oriented Student Clubs Nearly ALL are housed in the Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship Interaction, visibility, mentoring, shared contact database, support staff: MIT $100K Business Plan Competition MIT Clean Energy Prize MIT Energy Club MIT Global Startup Workshop MIT Venture Capital/Private Equity Club MIT Entrepreneurship Review MIT Sloan Entrepreneurs for International Development MIT Sloan Healthcare Club Many more entrepreneurship clubs, both MIT-wide and MIT Sloan Staff plus Entrepreneurs-in-Residence help significantly 8
