18 Entrepreneurship is for risk-takers mitigators

19 Entrepreneurs are the smartest people in the room Myth entrepreneurs NEED to be: Charismatic leaders Creative High tech wizards Loners and introverts Ruthless and deceptive Perception skewed by some outliers Actually It takes all types! (not one mold) Best team mix: hacker, hustler, and designer Best leader: level 5 humble and determined Average founding team size:

20 Entrepreneurs are born Entrepreneurship can t be taught There s not a gene: More than half are the first entrepreneur in their family Others similar to any other major / career Education matters for entrepreneurs (don t drop out): 95.1% have bachelors degrees 47% have advanced degrees

21 The idea is the most important part #1: team #2: process The good ideas have been thought of before But that s not a bad thing!

22 Gotta spend $$ to make $$! MIT Alumni Company Funding Source Depending on the source, average to start a company: $10k - $30k Services Mfg.

26 But The rate of foundings by younger entrepreneurs has declined since 1997

27 What is MIT Launch? Summer Clubs Online High school students come from all over the US and world to MIT campus each summer to become entrepreneurs in our 4-week program. Over half the companies are still operating a year later, due in large part to the rigor in the summer course materials, resources, and support students are provided. School entrepreneurship clubs are being started at schools around the world, with teams becoming entrepreneurs and starting real companies. Already in our second year, over 100 schools are in our network, with finalist teams selected to come to MIT to pitch their businesses in the spring. LaunchX is a new online course aimed at guiding first-time entrepreneurs through the steps of starting a company, helping to overcome the hurdles to making that first step to launching something new. Unleash your inner entrepreneur

28 MIT Launch Entrepreneurs Created Data analytics team: Expanded to 9 people $350k investment After Launch, I ve realized that even as a high schooler, I m capable of doing so much and I will be able to achieve anything I set my mind to. an experience of unparalleled growth as an entrepreneur and also as a person changed my life. In fact, it has inspired me to pursue a future in entrepreneurship and business
