Seed funding, mentorship, & entrepreneurship education empowering MIT student innovators to explore and advance ideas
关于我们
Launched in 2016, the MIT Sandbox Innovation Fund Program provides seed funding, mentorship, and tailored entrepreneurship education that empowers MIT student innovators to explore, take risks, and prepare to launch. The goal of the program is to enable any MIT student — inspired to solve a problem with an innovative solution — to learn and experience entrepreneurship. MIT Sandbox is the foundation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem at MIT. Each year, the program opens the door to entrepreneurship for hundreds of undergraduate students, master’s students, and PhDs and provides a launchpad where they can strategize, experiment, and grow. The program is not a competition. MIT Sandbox accepts teams at all stages of the start-up process who demonstrate a commitment to their idea and a willingness to invest in initial research and planning. Many teams spend 12-18 months in the Sandbox developing into viable startups by leveraging guidance from experienced mentors, insights from startup-related experts, and up to $25K in non-dilutive, cumulative funding. It is a learning experience for all and a life-altering experience for many. #entrepreneurship #startups

Congratulations to Sandbox alum &AI for their acceptance into Y Combinator's S24 cohort! Read about the work the &AI team is doing during their time in YC to advance patent due diligence! https://lnkd.in/eUSffNwn
?? Hey everyone, I’m excited to announce that &AI has been accepted to Y Combinator! Herbert Turner and I will be participating in the upcoming S24 batch. We are building comprehensive solutions for attorneys to streamline patent due diligence at a speed and scale never before possible. ?? Patent due diligence is essential, but notoriously time consuming, tedious and costly. By using AI to understand the inventive aspects of patents and automate the creation of work products, we enable attorneys to instantly and comprehensively find prior art, produce robust claim language, invalidate weak patents and more. ? In just minutes, we are able to analyze and compare inventiveness across thousands of patents, allowing attorneys to spend less time on tedious work and more time developing their arguments. ?? We’re actively looking to onboard more tech-forward law firms and company in-houses working with patents. We’d also love to hear directly from individual patent applicants and owners about how our tools might serve them. If you’re interested, please send us a message! Check out our full YC launch here: https://lnkd.in/eUSffNwn #LegalTech #LegalAI #Law #LawFirms? #DueDiligence #Patents #IP #AI #B2BSaaS #Startups
