By applying to the 2025 MIT Climate & Energy Prize, you’ll gain exclusive access to tools developed by MIT to help accelerate your entrepreneurial journey. For example, one of the tools you’ll gain access to is Jetpack AI, a generative AI tool trained on Professor Bill Aulet’s 24-step “Disciplined Entrepreneurship”, created by the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship (Paul Cheek and Doug Williams). The virtual assistant is meant to "jetpack" your iterative ideation process. While you'll still conduct primary market research, interpret, and test the results in the field, this tool helps you refine your strategy faster and more effectively. If you are a student or postdoc with just an idea, or a startup ready to spin out of lab, you will benefit from this tool and the other resources MIT CEP can offer.
