Are you a Baltipreneur?

Loyola University Maryland's accelerator program is returning in 2022.

 

Now in its third year, Baltipreneuers is open to businesses and social ventures from the city. The eight accepted ventures will get access to instruction, mentorship, pitch training, networking and more. Plus, the program provides access to capital.

 

“The CI&E leveraged more than $70,000 in financial support to last year’s large group of 13 Baltipreneurs,” said Wendy Bolger, director of Loyola's Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, in a statement. “We can guarantee a minimum of $40,000 in non-dilutive grants going out to the eight participating ventures this year. Capital aside, the lasting value will be in the relationships you build, and the confidence and experience you gain.”

 

Applications are open on a rolling basis through Dec. 15. Apply here.
