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.

Dingman Fridays advising sessions will be held every Friday of the semester from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. On the first Friday of the month, Dingman Fridays will be held in-person at the Dingman Center offices in Van Munching Hall and the rest of the events will be held virtually.

Venture mentors, subject matter experts, guest advisors and Dingman staff are available to listen to your idea, offer feedback and provide actionable next steps.
