Overview

An MIT $100K Alumnus/Alumna is anyone who has competed in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition. The MIT $100K Organizers are actively working to promote a more comprehensive entrepreneurial ecosphere at MIT, and we would love to keep in touch with our alumni.

Are you an alumnus/alumna of the competition? Let us know if your $1K or $100K idea has turned into a company, received recent press, gotten funded, and/or been IPOed. Send us an email at 100k-leads@mit.edu.
