The chapters ran a range of events and programs targeted to help early-stage entrepreneurs, promote innovative technology to the general public.
Their small initial informal gatherings in Cambridge quickly grew to large (250+ attendee), open-to-all events sometimes known as the “10-250s” for the room in which they were held on the MIT Campus.
In the late 90's MITEF Cambridge awarded Michael Dell the Edward B. Roberts Award for Distinguished Young Entrepreneurial Leadership[1] In subsequent years, the success of the New York and Cambridge chapters spawned more chapters of the MIT Enterprise Forum globally.
With the mission to help early-stage technology entrepreneurs succeed faster by informing, connecting, and coaching them through relevant, practical workshops, mentoring programs, competitions, and networking events, the MIT Enterprise Forum has helped stimulate the founding and growth of thousands of companies all over the world.
This partnership allows The eForum to learn from their leadership in the field of entrepreneurship education and share it with the broader global community of innovation-driven entrepreneurs they serve.
