The E14 Fund is an MIT-affiliated venture capital fund that exclusively invests in startups founded by MIT and Media Lab students, faculty, and alumni, offering rapid pre-seed funding through their EPOCH program with $50K-$150K decisions made in 24 hours after a single 30-minute interview. Named after the MIT Media Lab's building designation (E14), the fund specializes in commercializing complex research from areas like computational fabrication and robotics, while maintaining deep community ties through regular showcases and alumni networks rather than operating as a typical university VC.
