About Innov8MD

United Entrepreneurship

Innov8MD is a coalition of 15+ Maryland college & university entrepreneurship departments. Together, we work to support our state's young entrepreneurs with programming, mentorship, and events.

Our Mission

More than ever, our world needs solutions. But while the problems that we face are grand,  our ingenuity is greater. We aim to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs to rise to the challenge and build sustainable innovations, for the world's sake.

Increase Access to Resources

Not all students have equal access to the resources needed to build a venture. We come together as educators and innovators to support students from any institution

Support Diverse Founders

Our teams, schools, cities, states, and nations are diverse. It's our responsibility to ensure that people from all backgrounds have an equal opportunity to become entrepreneurs

Foster a Connected Ecosystem

When members of the entrepreneurial ecosystem work together, we can provide more robust resources, deeper support, and better growth for our innovation community
