Teams of science, engineering, and management students participate actively one day a week on-site with the top management of high tech start-ups in order to gain experience in starting and running a new venture. Student projects focus on one urgent aspect of the start-up, such as selection of target market, design of market-entry strategy, choice of sales approach to initial customers, etc. In addition to the regular MIT registration process, students should register at the course website one month before class to facilitate formation of student teams and matching of teams with potential host companies. Restricted to graduate students.
