AGILE –
NOT FRAGILE
Helping students
learn the craft of
entrepreneurship
At MIT, we believe
entrepreneurship
is a craft that can
be taught.
Our mission is to advance
knowledge and educate
students in innovation-driven
entrepreneurship, in a
manner that will best serve the
nation and the world in the
21st century.
We accept and welcome our
leadership role to advance the
field at MIT as well as globally.
We serve MIT students, to
whom we provide proven
frameworks, courses, co-
curricular programs, state of
the art facilities, advisory
services and processes to
create a rigorous, practical,
customized and integrated
experience.
Our goal is to help them
become agile, not fragile.
Principles of operation
MIT Standard of Excellence & Rigor
We provide the highest quality education, advising, and
practical experiences.
Collaboration
We work closely with other MIT departments, labs,
centers, and groups to connect students with the best
entrepreneurship programming across the Institute and
beyond when appropriate.
Diversity and inclusion
Entrepreneurship requires diversity of opinion and
diversity of people. Throughout our courses, advising,
and programming, we combine a range of critical
perspectives.
Experimentation
Each year we try new programs and activities. If we fail,
we learn. We don’t expect everything to work the first
time; if they all do, we are not innovating enough.
Honest Broker
First, neither the Center nor its faculty or staff are
allowed to take a financial interest in any of the new
companies that we nurture and assist. Second, we strive
to always provide our students with multiple options and
educate them on the process to make an informed
decision. The choice always rests with the student. The
Center will work to create a level playing field for the
options. Our only goal is the student’s entrepreneurship
education and long-term entrepreneurial success.
Mens et Manus
True to the motto of MIT, in all of our courses and
throughout our activities, we operate on a hybrid model
that fuses academic and practitioner perspectives.
