Entrepreneurs

Who is eligible for VMS?

VMS is open to all members of the MIT community (students, faculty, staff and alumni) who have ideas and want to start new businesses. The MIT member must be the active "entrepreneur" of the venture. In addition, the entrepreneur and the venture must both be based in the greater Boston area.

What are the expectations for VMS entrepreneurs?

VMS entrepreneurs are expected to commit to a sustained relationship with VMS and to be professional, open and responsive to the volunteer mentors who work with them. They are also expected to provide VMS, to the best of their ability, with accurate information about their venture.

MIT students should also note that VMS and mentors consider the involvement of any MIT student with the VMS or in any venture secondary to his or her overall academic interests at MIT.
