How did your experience at the Lab influence your next step?

Working at the media lab is great preparation for running a startup. You get lots of practice building things and telling people about why they're important.

Don't be afraid to see what the rest of MIT has to offer! The media lab is an amazing place, and there are also tons of great resources, people, and classes  across the campus.
