LAUNCH
MIT Launch is a comprehensive business plan competition in which teams compete to launch their ventures out of MIT.
Semi-finalists are expected to present not just prototypes, but full business plans.
They receive funding and mentorship along the way, and finalists present onstage to a 300+ live audience from Cambridge, Boston, and beyond.
The Grand Prize? $100,000
Semifinals are typically late April, and Finals mid-May.
Check back in Fall 2026 for 2027 Semifinals and Finals dates.
