Learn from Experts in the MIT Ecosystem
The Master Class series are workshops tailor made for MIT student entrepreneurs. Many of these workshops are not recorded by design, to foster open and honest conversation between the speaker and the students. In some cases these masterclasses are delivered under Chatham House Rule in which we agree not to name either the person or their affiliation.
For this reason, many of the workshops in this series are notes taken from these workshops instead of recordings. We have done our best to capture key takeaways so that you can learn from these speakers, even without a video recording of the event.
