​Apply by Sept 10 to pitch at the MIT AI Conference

​Are you an MIT alumni founder working on AI startups across domains? We would love to receive your application, whether you're in healthcare, robotics, energy, computer science. Submit your startup to pitch at the MIT AI Conference on October 17, 2026 in Mountain View — a major AI gathering in the MIT and Silicon Valley ecosystem, featuring founders, investors, researchers, and AI leaders from organizations such as Replit, Microsoft, General Catalyst, Greylock, OpenAI, Adobe, Applied Intuition, Liquid AI, Spotify, Oura, Grammarly, MIT Media Lab, E14 Fund, and Ridge Ventures.

​How it works
