MIT Entrepreneurship Review (MITER)
MITER's mission is to provide a low-barrier, online forum for thought-leaders in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation to share and discuss ideas in medium-form content. Medium-form content consists of articles or videos (and possibly other media) that are more in-depth than a blog, but less elaborate than a scholarly peer-reviewed research paper. Under this format MITER will ignite the interest and stimulate the thinking of a large audience within the overall entrepreneurial ecosystem.
