CSAIL Alliances and Samsung Ventures invite you to apply for an exclusive pitch session. From the applicant pool, six premier startups will be selected to present to an audience of leading VC's, CSAIL Alliances members, and key stakeholders within the MIT Startup Ecosystem.

Attendance for the event is highly selective and will be extended to non-presenting applicants on a curated, case-by-case basis. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We encourage early submission to ensure your firm is considered before the cohort is finalized.

This session is sponsored by Samsung Ventures. Samsung Ventures is the venture capital arm of the Samsung Group, with $3B+ under management from 16 Samsung Group companies and select outside investors. This include various divisions of Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display, SDI (battery), Samsung Biologics/Bioepis, and Engineering/Construction. We are primarily a strategic investor that deploys capital with business unit support and usually in connection with a complementary strategic engagement. We have a broad area of focus, spanning from the traditional technologies you think about related to Samsung (semiconductor, consumer electronics, display, software) to energy technologies, construction, and biotech. As with many technology companies, AI and robotics have been a key focus area in recent years.
