Steve Mandel ’78, Mark Mader ’92, and Brent Frei ’88 T’89, were inducted on Sept. 4 into Dartmouth’s Entrepreneurs Hall of Fame at a dinner in San Francisco organized by the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship.

The community helps foster a supportive environment for founders who are willing to share both their highs and lows as they go through their startup journeys together.

The 2025 cohort of the Digital Health Track of the Dartmouth Innovations Accelerator included projects ranging from detecting fractured bones without x-rays to harnessing AI for reconstructive surgery.

Magnuson’s startup grants provide new founders with funding opportunities to help make progress on their ventures. Please join us in congratulating all of the grantees!

Mentorship and feedback from a diverse and talented External Review Panel provided immense value to participants in the most recent DIAC cohort.

They benefited from participating in The Dartmouth Innovations Accelerator for Cancer as graduate students. Now, they’re volunteering to make Dartmouth’s entrepreneurial ecosystem even stronger.

The innovative Magnuson Center program supports alumni founders in consumer-facing industries.

For decades, cancer researchers have been stymied by an elusive challenge: a gene that fuels unchecked cell growth. Myelocytomatosis oncogene (known as MYC) plays a role in most deadly tumors. Yet efforts to develop drugs to rein it in have consistently fallen short.

Sea Energy is an early-stage startup focused on harnessing renewable energy from the oceans. Two other Dartmouth teams also fared well in their Hult Prize competitions.

Congratulations to the recipients of the Fall '24 Founder Grants! We received 33 submissions spanning a broad range of interests, including fashion, AI, medtech, and education.

Lodestone Biomedical aims to raise $1.2M through investments of as small as just over $100 over the next three months.

Technigala is a highly anticipated end-of-term event that spotlights the incredible work of students from the DALI Lab and the departments of computer science and engineering at Dartmouth College.

The event immersed participants in a comprehensive crash-course program in entrepreneurship and startup formation.

The innovations include video games for mental health, a tool for providing reputable medical information to patients, and a surgical navigation system.

Tissue engineers at Dartmouth are developing methods to repair, rehabilitate, and replace such damaged tissue. Their work, led by Katie Hixon, PhD, clinical assistant professor of orthopaedics at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and assistant professor of engineering at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering, aims to improve the quality of life for patients after cancer treatment.

Lynn Fiellin, MD, had heard it over and over from patients she was treating for addiction and other related conditions: ‘If only I knew as a kid what I know now.’ So Fiellin decided to test that proposition. Could she find a way to effectively communicate adult lessons to children, and in doing so prevent them from ever facing addiction, sexually transmitted infections like HIV, or other negative health outcomes?
