Skillman, New Jersey, USA — 4M Therapeutics Inc. (4MTx) has joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Startup Exchange. The Startup Exchange actively promotes collaboration and partnerships between MIT-connected startups and industry, exclusively members of MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program (ILP). MIT Startup Exchange and the ILP are integrated programs of MIT Corporate Relations.

“MIT-connected” startups are based on licensed MIT technology, or are founded by MIT faculty, staff, or alumni.

The industry side of the exchange is represented primarily by 240+ ILP member companies. Meetings between MIT Startup Exchange startups and industry are facilitated by program directors at MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program. Each program director manages a portfolio of ILP member companies, and their primary role is to match company research interests with relevant MIT faculty and researchers. Increasingly, on-campus agendas include MIT Startup Exchange startups, based on their potential to rapidly explore and assess new technologies.

4MTx is honored to be a member of MIT Startup Exchange. We look forward to engaging with ILP member companies and their representatives to help bring life-saving medicines to the most people as quickly as possible.
