For second year ITAM has been invited to collaborate with the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship for the Global Founders’ Skills Accelerator programme. You will have the chance to join this extraordinary experience together with select teams of MIT students and several foreign universities. ITAM is looking for a great team with an exceptional and innovation-driven business idea.

The MIT Global Founders' Skills Accelerator (MIT GFSA) is the premier university student accelerator in the world. It offers a capstone educational opportunity for students to round out their multi-dimensional, entrepreneurial experience.

ITAM´s selected team will have the opportunity to participate at the Martin Trust Center for entrepreneurship in a rigorous, educational curriculum that integrates learning by doing, mentorship and access to resources. During this time, teams make significant progress towards identifying their beachhead market, building the right product and securing initial customers or partners so that they are ready to hit escape velocity by Demo Day.

Throughout the three-summer-month duration of GFSA, founders are granted a monthly stipend, allowing them to make a full-time commitment to working on their ventures. In addition, each team has the opportunity to earn up to $20,000, equity free seed-money for the venture, based on its progress against monthly milestones.

The MIT Global Founders´ Skills Accelerator will begin on June 1, 2015 and conclude with a Demo Day Event on September 5th, 2015.
