START.nano Advisory Council

The START.nano Advisory Council steers START.nano, a program launched by MIT.nano to support hard-tech startups in overcoming the early hurdles to success. By providing access to MIT.nano’s state-of-the-art laboratories, START.nano minimizes the cost of launching a nascent idea, helping to increase the survival rate of promising companies and potentially shorten the time it takes for their innovations to reach the market.
