Who you know counts as much as what you know. This is doubly true for entrepreneurs, whose networks are at least as valuable as their education or experience. The MIT E-Center nurtures the skills needed to establish solid connections in numerous areas, including crafting an elevator pitch, enhancing presentation skills, or perfecting the subtle art of schmoozing. We offer abundant opportunities to refine those hand-shaking and deal-making skills—from learning networking techniques to attending events and gatherings that attract CEOs, venture capitalists, mentors, and alumni.
