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?

[Stephanie MacConnell @stephmacc]

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

[Thinkers50 @thinkers50]

“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

Best community - if you’re in school and interested in startups/VC, @DormRoomFund is the best training ground you can get

[Alex Immerman @aleximm]

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.

[Stephanie MacConnell @stephmacc]

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. 🤯

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!

[Stephanie MacConnell @stephmacc]

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 😂🤷🏻‍♀️)
