<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Times New Roman">In
2003-2004 the MIT $50K Entrepreneurship Competition is celebrating its
15th anniversary. It was launched in 1989 as a $10K competition when
the MIT Entrepreneurs Club and the Sloan New Ventures Association
teamed up to create a competition that would take advantage of MIT's
winning combination of engineers and business students. Over these
years more than 80 MIT $50K entry teams have launched companies,
creating over 1,600 jobs, with a value of more than $4
billion.</font><font size="-1"> </font><br>
