Established in 1989-1990, MIT $100K is one of the largest student-run startup competitions in the U.S., bringing together students and researchers from across MIT and Greater Boston to launch their talent, ideas, and technology into leading companies. The competition runs a series of distinct, increasingly intensive contests from September to May: Pitch, Accelerate, and Launch, awarding more than $300,000 in non-dilutive funding to new ventures each year. Launch is the grand finale of the $100K competition. Semi-finalists are expected to present not just prototypes, but full business plans, and they receive funding and elite mentorship along the way. Finalists present onstage to a live audience from Cambridge, Boston, and beyond. Companies worth more than $16B in market capitalization have walked the stage before them. The winning team takes home the $100,000 Grand Prize!
