MIT's Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship has received a $6 million gift from Klaviyo co-founders Ed Hallen and Andrew Bialecki to expand the delta v student startup accelerator. Key changes include increasing equity-free funding for participants from $20,000 to up to $75,000, and introducing a partner model featuring founders from HubSpot, Okta, and Kayak alongside C-suite operators and early-stage investors. The expansion is driven by AI's growing impact on how students build companies and rising student interest in entrepreneurship. Applications for the summer 2026 cohort open March 1.
