AI Venture Studio

Join this class to learn how to spot, evaluate and build high-impact AI-first companies.

This semester we expect teams to produce end to end functioning prototype and customer traction for their startup idea. The class will teach students a variety of technical frameworks and tools for prototyping with AI. We will heavily use low-code GenAI tools.

This is a hands-on practical course. We will teach you to master systematic methods for identifying high-impact real-world opportunities for AI applications, learn technical fundamentals of the modern AI stack, and gain hands-on experience with rapid prototyping and product development. The course features guest lectures from leading AI scientists, CEOs, VCs, and culminates in a demo day with top investors from the MIT ecosystem.

We will pay specific focus to digital health, AI-driven sustainability and mobility, identity and privacy-tech, foundation models and decentralized AI.
