About this Event
Join student founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, mentors, and business leaders from across Maryland for an evening of networking, mentorship, food, and startup celebration at the Pava Center for Entrepreneurship at Johns Hopkins University.
Throughout the evening, students will have opportunities to meet experienced entrepreneurs and mentors, share what they’re building, get feedback, and form new connections across Maryland’s startup community.
The event will also feature our 60-Second Lightning Pitch Competition, where six student entrepreneurs will each receive a $100 business micro-grant to support their ventures.
Whether you’re already building a company, looking for a cofounder, or simply curious about entrepreneurship, come connect with Maryland’s next generation of founders.
