Hoping this email can be forwarded to your Biology graduate students.

15.618 (“Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Startups and the Law”) is being offered again this spring. This course is a deep dive into the law-sensitive issues faced by technology-driven startups.  If you are working with a technology and interested in its potential social or commercial impact, or are thinking about founding or working for a startup, 15.618 may be for you.

This course is designed for students from ALL MIT departments.  No background in business or law is expected.  In recent semesters, about half the students have been from the science/engineering side of campus.  The focus is on real-life issues and practical solutions.  Current top practitioners will be adding their expertise.


The course will meet once a week on Tuesdays, 7-9pm, for a total of 11 sessions. 6 credits. Grading P/D/F only. (This course is a lighter load than other Sloan law offerings.)  E51-345. First class meeting is Tuesday 2/6.

Syllabus attached, and you can access the Stellar course site at https://stellar.mit.edu/S/course/15/sp18/15.618/

This spring the course has been moved to a much bigger room, so I expect to be able to admit all interested students, even if they have skipped the Sloan bidding process.

Hope to see some of you next Tuesday.  Feel free to reach out to me with questions.


Best,
John Akula
Senior Lecturer in Law
