This week the @EshipMIT delta v accelerator comes BACK TO NYC for the first summer since 2019! 🗽 The six teams span fintech, sustainability, climate tech, retail, AI and media. 🔥
I may be biased but… MIT founders are the best.
More updates to come.
Let’s go!!! 🚀
I keep hearing about scammy non-ACA, non-major medical insurance being hocked to consumers. Are any of the non-exchange plans being targeted at freelancers legit? What are people doing who can't afford the high exchange prices, or missed the deadline?
how many deadlines in life are as substantial as Saturday Jan 31, followed by Sunday, Feb 1. If you decide to choose a health plan on Sunday instead of Saturday that weekend, you're sh*t out of luck until... checks notes... NOVEMBER?! just outrageous behavior.
"We don't have a single application come through anymore that doesn't mention #AI, so the work is in distinguishing the hype-factor from actual innovative solutions."
– @stephmacc, @MIT delta v NYC director, at today’s BIG.AI@MIT
@mit_ide@Accenture
“Companies require new hires to have an #AI skillset but aren't able to define what skillset they actually want. They have a vague desire for AI talent but don’t know how to utilize it. And it’s no value to have a check box skill.”
– @stephmacc of @MIT delta v NYC at BIG.AI@MIT
Join us at BIG.AI@MIT on 15 Nov to hear from @stephmacc, Director of the @MIT delta v NYC Accelerator at @EshipMIT, who will be diving into how big, how fast, and in what areas #AI is making its surge.

If you're a student interested in startups, there's no better "club" to join than @dormroomfund.
Rumor is I met my wife there. While not true, I am grateful for lifelong friends & community.
Without it, I wouldn't have companions to make fun of @WillManidis on a daily basis.
Man, few companies are as great as @Instacart at losing a customer. Talk about a product I keep coming back around to try, and keep being disappointed by. And it’s not the shoppers- it’s the Instacart product and customer service. The things that are totally in their control. 🤯
If you are an angel investor writing $25k checks into preseed tech companies in NYC or the Bay Area, DM me. Private MIT investor showcase coming up. Referrals welcome! ✨
The NYC delta v teams got a ✨treat✨ today to kick off Product month, learning how to prioritize features based on customer research (and how to fail at it) from delta v alums @john_peurifoy and @CryptoKev42 founders of @fpgcrypto. Really valuable stuff. THANK YOU!
Fun AND useful delta v NYC personas exercise led by the wonderful @sgoddu (fwiw i told them to tie the bags like a bandana but founders are gonna do what they please sometimes 😂🤷🏻♀️)
We are looking for help with design and front end eng for the @EshipMIT delta v teams this summer. If you know someone with talent and hours available, DM me.
