Your experience helps researchers, students and founders turn ideas into companies. Four ways in.


Mentor an I-Corps team. Bring your industry experience to researchers testing whether their technology has a market, in UMD's regional and national cohorts.

Mentor teams in the Hub's regional cohorts, drawn from universities across the Mid-Atlantic.

Volunteer as an advisor. Meet one-on-one with current and aspiring entrepreneurs exploring a company idea, and point them to campus and regional resources. Contact mtechventures@umd.edu.

Team your company with University System of Maryland faculty on a product-development project, backed by MIPS matching funds.
