PRESIDENT CHARLES VEST
The MITCNC is striving to promote entrepreneurship within the Bay Area
and
enhance the interaction of entrepreneurs in the local MIT community.
Last
fall, the MITCNC held Spotlight MIT '97: Entrepreneurship to highlight
MIT's
role as a leader in entrepreneurship. The event featured Dr. Alex
D'Arbeloff,
Chairman of the MIT Corporation and founder of Teradyne as the keynote
speaker. The event also featured the winners of the 1997 $50K business
plan
competition that was held at MIT. Over 300 MIT alumni/ae attended the
event
and rallied around MIT's spirit in the Bay Area.
During this past year, the MITCNC has been running its Venture Incubator
program which is directed toward facilitating new MIT entrepreneurs in
starting companies. EntrepreneurFest '98 is a celebratory culmination
to the
successful year-long Venture Incubator program.
EntrepreneurFest '98 will have a lot for everyone:
* Dr. Charles Vest, MIT's President, our keynote speaker and honored
guest
will speak on his vision for MIT's role in Entrepreneurship in the new
millenium.
* MIT Founders of Local Companies including: Efraim Arazi (EFII),
Jerry
Burnett (Visionary Corporate Technology), Howard Shao (Documentum), Paul
Cook
(RayChem, SRI), Steve Kirsch (Infoseek), Brian Hinman (Polycom), Suhas
Patil
(Cirrus Logic), and Vivek Ranadive (TIBCO). Come and rub elbows with
some of
the people who have shaped, and are currently shaping, entrepreneurship
in
Silicon Valley.
* Technology and Product Demos by over 20 up and coming local MIT
companies.
Come and find out about the hot new companies that your classmates are
building.
* VC Dunk Tank. Come and pitch something different to prominent
local
venture capitalists. Maybe you can get some of the Valley's most
notable
venture capitalists to come clean in the process!
Come find out what some of your 7000 fellow MIT alums in Northern
California
are doing to create the next wave of great companies. You will be sure
to see
some really interesting technology, and may even come away from the Fest
with
your next job/investment/client.
EntrepreneurFest '98 will be a Saturday afternoon picnic luncheon with
good
food and casual fun. Come join us for a very special event to celebrate
MIT
entrepreneurship in Northern California.
