About
Mtech Ventures is the University of Maryland's incubator for technology-based companies commercialized at the university. It exists for the most dangerous stretch of a startup's life: after customer discovery, before the first round of venture capital.
Member companies get affordable lab and office space on campus and hands-on mentoring from staff and Entrepreneurs-in-Residence who have built companies before. Because the incubator sits inside the University System of Maryland, one of the country's largest public research and teaching systems, members also draw on the university's advanced laboratories, scale-up facilities, and research talent next door.
