Exclusively for both current and alumni members of Terp Startup, Pitch Dingman Finalists and Startup Shell, Founders Forum is an opportunity to continue honing our entrepreneurial skills, to learn from our peers, and to catch up with one another. Each month, we’ll deep dive a new topic related to running your businesses in a roundtable style, while also making time to socialize and chat.

Sell your product or service to UMD students, faculty and staff at Terp Marketplace! Find out if what you have is a product or service people want and the price they are willing to pay. The Dingman Center will provide UMD student entrepreneurs with a table, chair, and tablecloth. Vendors bring their products, marketing materials, a sign with your name/logo and anything else to add to your table.

Dingman Advising sessions will be held every Thursday of the semester from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. These advising sessions are a mix of in-person (at the Dingman Center offices in Van Munching Hall) and virtual on Zoom so please pay close attention to the location when you register. These sessions are open to all UMD students, staff and alumni. Venture mentors, subject matter experts, and guest advisors are available to listen to your idea, offer feedback and provide actionable next steps.
