Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures
It is the season of giving, and Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures has been busy equipping entrepreneurs with the grants and other forms of support to advance their ideas.

We recently announced the four undergraduate-led startups that will receive $10,000 in grant funding and named 10 startups to our 2018-19 Social Innovation Lab cohort. We also are giving startup founders the chance to meet and “talk shop” with our new Founders’ Forum series. The events, a partnership between Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures and the Johns Hopkins Alumni Association, allow entrepreneurs to give back to the university.

JHTV also has received dozens of applications for a variety of translational funding opportunities, including for Bluefield Innovations, the university’s new partnership with Deerfield that provides $65 million over five years to support the commercialization of early-stage therapeutic research at Johns Hopkins.

We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for your continued interest in innovation at Johns Hopkins!
