FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Mtech Ventures provide funding?

No. The incubator provides space and mentorship, not capital. For early-stage funding, look at MIPS, TEDCO's MII grant, Dingman Angels, Baltimore Angels, and the Maryland Momentum Fund. Clean-tech companies may also be a fit for the Chesapeake Bay Seed Capital Fund, which is affiliated with Mtech Ventures but invests independently of the incubator.

Does Mtech Ventures take equity?

No. Membership requires no equity.

How much is rent?

Rent is quoted per company based on space and configuration. Email mtechventures@umd.edu for pricing.

Do I have to be affiliated with UMD?

No. Any company may apply. Because demand for space is high, companies founded by UMD College Park students, faculty, or staff are prioritized.

Is there a virtual option?

Yes. Virtual membership with mailbox service is available under its own license agreement, alongside physical space options.

Can I tour the facility?

Yes. Email mtechventures@umd.edu to arrange a tour.

Are you hiring mentors?

Always. If you're a serial entrepreneur interested in mentoring the next generation of high-tech startups as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence, get in touch at mtechventures@umd.edu.
