"CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 1, 2016 /satPRnews.com/ — While large tech companies often have formal internship programs and small startups offer great hands-on opportunities, MIT Sloan School of Management MBA students say they are seeing increased interest from midsize tech companies. During their “Tech Trek” next week, they plan to visit several of those mid-size companies for the first time.

"2015 Was the Year  of Change

• Crowdfunding became mainstream – in the sense that it was accepted as part of the ‘new normal’ and not a fad that’s going to fade away
• In the USA the SEC finally, perhaps reluctantly, followed the Fintech leaders in allowing a limited form of equity Crowdfunding – the limitation will become more and more apparent from May as entrepreneurs actually try to use it and ‘feel the burn’ from all the friction
