Nothing ventured, nothing gained

A little venturing can go a long way. Just ask all those 30-somethings who emerged from the dot-com era with a king’s ransom. Those heady days are gone, of course, but entrepreneurship is still going strong. Especially at MIT, where innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration make quite suitable bedfellows.

There’s a reason the annual MIT Venture Capital Conference attracts some 400 venture professionals, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Now in its 10th year, the conference is both a showcase for entrepreneurial thought-leadership and a stimulus for entrepreneurial connections.

This year’s conference, Nov. 30, includes presentations from Diane Greene, co-founder and CEO of VMware; Frank Moss, director of the MIT Media Lab; and Christopher Sacca, head of special initiatives at Google. Plus, an Entrepreneur Showcase (Nov. 29, open to the public) will exhibit the business vision and technological prowess of 30 early stage businesses.

Come on, you can venture a little. Check it out >>
