Creating the next generation of innovation-driven entrepreneurs
The Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship has a global reputation for leadership in the field of innovation-driven entrepreneurship. Our content and approach—Disciplined Entrepreneurship—are the foundation of what institutions and companies use globally to teach hundreds of thousands (and probably millions) how to practice rigorous, high-growth entrepreneurship.
The talent emanating from MIT is unsurpassed as its graduates have been involved in the founding of tens of thousands of companies that, in total, account for revenues that would make it the 10th-biggest economy in the world if taken as a standalone country GDP.
But that is just startups. Trust Center-trained students have taken on leadership roles in organizations such as Google, Amazon, AB InBev, Continental, the White House, sovereign wealth funds, and venture capital firms to name a few. Their mindset, skill set, and community-building way of operating helps to inject new levels of innovation-driven entrepreneurship behavior and results wherever they are needed.
