Beyond the Lab:
Faculty as Founders, CEOs, and Board Members
Are you an MIT faculty member curious about engaging more deeply in the world of startups? This IAP session is designed to help you explore your role in venture creation, whether as an advisor, board member, or even a founder.
We’ll tackle key questions like:
How do cofounders share responsibilities?
What’s a fair equity split between faculty and student co-founders?
Can I pursue tenure while starting a company?
How much equity should I get for my student's startup?
What are my fiduciary risks as a board member?
Featuring special guests:
Ray Stata, Co-Founder and Chairman of Analog Devices
Hari Balakrishnan, Professor and Founder & CTO of Cambridge Mobile Telematics
