VMS is a free and confidential mentoring service for entrepreneurs in the MIT community.
We connect entrepreneurs with teams of carefully selected mentors and other services to help turn their ideas into for-profit, for-benefit, or non-profit ventures.
Apply for Mentoring
VMS is open to all Boston-based members of the MIT community (students, faculty, post docs, staff and alumni) who have ideas and want to start businesses or non-profits.
Support VMS
VMS relies heavily on financial support from our mentors, mentees, and friends. Your gift will help VMS educate MIT's emerging entrepreneurs.
Outreach Training Program
To date, we have trained 111 organizations worldwide to help them establish their own mentoring programs based on the MIT VMS Model.
