The E14 Fund

E14 Fund is the early stage venture capital fund for MIT and Media Lab startup community. Born at the MIT Media Lab, our mission is to serve the MIT community and invest in scalable, deep tech startups. We donate a significant portion of profits to MIT. We’re usually your first investors and most often help when a company is moving from tackling early science or engineering challenges to building and shipping product to address a real market need, moving from using your scientist brain to using your founder brain. Whether you’re a researcher considering the real-world translation of your work, an alumni who’s thinking about a new idea or a startup looking to connect with industry leaders who might have valuable feedback, become a partner or a customer, E14 Fund is here to help. Brainstorming, spitballing, looking for connections and resources within or outside of MIT — if you have a past or current MIT affiliation, it’s never too early to talk with E14 Fund, and no request is too small. Not sure you’re a fit, just ask.
