MassVX is the first-in-the-nation statewide innovation program that expedites academic spin-outs from all 34 Massachusetts academic and research institutes. MassVX curates talent matches for selected academic innovators and introduces the innovators to the right, vetted MassVX Entrepreneurial Champion.
We are intentionally using the term MassVX Entrepreneurial Champion to keep the business lead role flexible. Depending on the introduction, the Entrepreneurial Champion could be the CEO, an Entrepreneurial Chairperson or an Executive Chair. The academic innovator is the Chief Scientific Officer or Chief Technical Officer.
