We sit down with Centaur Labs founder and CEO Erik Duhaime. Duhaime — and his company —are alums of our delta V accelerator program.

Centaur Labs was born out of research at the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, which explores how people and computers can be organized so that – collectively – they act more intelligently than any person, group or computer alone.

They “provide high-quality, trusted data annotation at scale, to power the development of superior AI models. We unlock the power of Collective Intelligence. By gathering and intelligently synthesizing multiple expert opinions, we achieve better-than-expert quality at scale.”

Tire Tutor is the “only true all-in-one solution in the automotive industry,” and it was born right here at MIT’s Trust Center.

In this episode, we sit down with CEO Jason Abrahams, an alumni of our delta V accelerator program, to chat about building a start-up from the ground up.

TireTutor’s products include a modern POS with integrated tire ordering and online scheduling, custom websites with service forms and e-commerce tire catalogs, B2B wholesale ordering software with real-time inventory, and AI-optimized advertising SEM campaigns.

Trust Center executive director Paul Cheek and managing director Bill Aulet discuss the robust frameworks laid out in their new books, Start Up Tactics and Disciplined Entrepreneurship (expanded edition), which have become essential reading for entrepreneurs aiming to navigate the complex startup ecosystem.

These frameworks are not just theoretical; they've been battle-tested by a wave of MIT startups that, by following these methods, have collectively raised over $1 billion in funding. Tune in to uncover the secrets behind their success and learn how these strategies can be applied to empower new ventures worldwide.

We sit down with Stack.Ai, a company that previously went through our Delta V Accelerator program. Stack.AI helps enterprise clients create custom AI models without prior AI experience. As they explain it, Stack Ai allows those closest to business pain points, solve problems with low code AI models.

Stack is also the platform currently used by the Martin Trust Center team for its own internal AI models.

This episode features co-founder Bernardo Aceituno and Pablo Omenaca.

Today’s episode features Doug Williams and Amu Killada

Doug and Amu are the minds behind a groundbreaking AI-powered system that allows teams to test their ideas against the Trust lCenter’s entrepreneurial frameworks.

This project has taken the principles of Disciplined Entrepreneurship and Start-Up Tactics to a whole new level. Leveraging tech designed by Delta V alumni Stack.AI, Amu and Doug have crafted a program that’s all about speed, efficiency, and sharp strategic thinking.

Imagine having the ability to rapidly test your entrepreneurial concepts, swiftly moving through the Trust Center model, and spending more time on what really matters: critical thinking and refining your ideas. That’s exactly what Doug and Amu’s program will offer to teams across the globe.

Right now, the program is in a beta test here at MIT. But we hope to bring it out into the world soon.
