ABOUT PROTO VENTURES
The first venture studio of its kind within a university.
Proto Ventures creates startups from technology and research within MIT.
We believe that many potentially world-changing inventions remain on the lab room floor. Proto Ventures seeks to be more deliberate about identifying venture opportunities at an early stage and cultivating those ideas to solve the world’s hardest problems.
