SBXi - investing in MIT founders.
SBXi is jointly backed by Accel, Polaris Partners, GETTYLAB, General Catalyst, Pillar, Danaher, Underscore VC and Glasswing Ventures — we write $10K-$100K checks on SAFEs and $100K-$1M checks when there’s a qualifying term-sheet we can match.
Hello, and welcome to the very first issue of SBXi’s newsletter.
Before we get into it, I just wanted to say a big thank you for joining. I also wanted to share what you can expect for future newsletters.
What to expect?:
MIT alumni-founded startups - we will highlight the new investments that we have made as well as other MIT startups. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in an intro.
Events - we will regularly host meetups and larger events focused on the MIT entrepreneurial ecosystem. Stay tuned for more updates.
Interviews with founders - hear from our portfolio companies about the learnings they’ve had and where they think the market is going.
Feel free to share this newsletter with any of your peers that may be interested in all things going on within the MIT entrepreneurship ecosystem.
We’ve had an active year, so we’d like to kick off the newsletter by highlighting all the great companies that we’ve invested in from June 2022 - June 2023.
