Join the Center for Social Value Creation on November 16, from 6 to 8 p.m. at VMH 2517 to learn about the journeys and experiences of underrepresented founders and funders from the University of Maryland community. Be sure to register early to attend the VIP pre-event networking opportunity starting at 5:30 p.m.

This special evening promises an enriching dialogue, focused on changing the landscape of our university’s entrepreneurship ecosystem, fostering an environment that thrives on inclusion and equity. As we dine and discuss, we’ll delve deep into the importance of funding and tailor-made support for underrepresented entrepreneurs, aiming to bridge gaps and ensure a robust platform for all. We will explore a wide range of sources of capital with experts – bank loans, impact investment, venture capital, and community funding options. This will be followed by a community conversation over dinner about creating an inclusive entrepreneurial future.
