Summer Programs

Since its debut in 2012 —the program, formerly known as LaunchX officially joined the MIT entrepreneurial ecosystem last year—MIT LaunchX has helped hundreds of teenage entrepreneurs from all over the world start and grow 70 companies.

We have all taken tests and we know how important preparation is. The same goes for pitching your company. Your pitch marks the culmination of countless hours of researching the market, number crunching, prototyping and (not) sleeping. When pitch day arrives, it is important to remember that you are the expert on your company.

The following is the entrepreneur pledge LaunchX Summer entrepreneurs take as part of their application process

Summer programs are important. They teach you valuable skills you can’t exactly learn in school; they create long-lasting relationships; they introduce you to people all around the world with different skill sets and perspectives.
