About us
Our mission
-min.png)
Our mission is to empower the Johns Hopkins entrepreneurial ecosystem through investing in startups led by Hopkins alumni and affiliates. In addition to investments, we introduce founders to our rich network of LPs and professional advisors, who often help with further raising.
By cultivating this network of founders and leaders, we offer a direct avenue for the JHU student body to get exposed to the startup world. Many Hopkins students have interned at our portfolio companies, which fills a niche for both students and companies.
Through each of these pursuits, we hope to make Johns Hopkins stand out as a school that doesn't just produce some of the brightest scientists and engineers in the world, but also some of the greatest founders and business leaders.
