MIT Startup Exchange is pleased to announce the addition of ten companies to its roster of STEX25 startups. New additions to the program include: Adaviv, Akkio, Covariance.AI, Decoy Therapeutics, Inc., DxLab Inc., HomeRun IQ, Ikigai Labs, serviceMob, Inc., Stratagen Bio Inc, and Ubicept.
Upon joining the program, MIT STEX25 startups are advised and prepared for industry interactions, including the refining and rehearsing of presentations, the development of written and video promotional materials, and the building of relationships with the Startup Exchange team and MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) corporate members. MIT Startup Exchange actively promotes collaboration and partnerships between MIT-connected startups and industry members of MIT’s ILP.
“STEX25 is attracting a lot of new startups which opens doors for new collaborations, new partnerships, and new visits to other markets,” said Catarina Madeira, Director of MIT Startup Exchange. “MIT-connected startups”, are based on MIT licensed technology, are founded by MIT faculty, staff, or alumni, or are actively supported by other MIT affiliated groups such as The Engine.
“The new STEX25 cohort includes startups from various fields, including agriculture, biotech, real estate, and defense, to name a few,” said John Roberts, Interim Executive Director of the MIT Industrial Liaison Program. “Despite their diverse backgrounds, these startups can be characterized as ‘technology startups’, and all are determined to disrupt the norm or facilitate significant transformations across various industries.”
Startups selected for STEX25, all part of MIT Startup Exchange, receive custom support. For twelve months, each STEX25 startup is assigned a team member from Startup Exchange to be its main point of contact, an individual who helps with targeted connections within the established corporate network of the Industrial Liaison Program (ILP). Furthermore, STEX25 startup executives are offered speaking opportunities at events delivered at MIT, elsewhere in the US, and internationally. This customized effort is to help startup executives explore, discuss, and start collaborations and partnerships with corporations based on common interests and business overlap.
