Mtech Ventures Company Roundtable
Please join us on Zoom to hear from two technology startups coming out of the University of Maryland. This online call is intended to highlight promising entrepreneurs, connect them to resources, build awareness of their work, and amplify their current needs (funding, hiring, customer introductions, and more).
On March 12 at 11:00 a.m. ET, we will hear from two University of Maryland startups:
HOHCells is addressing one of the biggest bottlenecks in regenerative medicine and cell and gene therapies: cryopreservation. The company's flagship product, FreezOpt™, is a non-chemical ice nucleation “seed” designed to protect cells during freezing and thawing and has been shown to nearly double cell recovery and better preserve cell function versus conventional methods.
Alchemity has developed a modular, turn-key reactor skid that converts waste or stranded gas directly to drop-in liquid fuels (such as renewable diesel or sustainable aviation fuel) with zero CO2 emissions. The produced low-carbon intensity fuel is offered at price parity with conventional fuels. The reactor skids can be deployed on-site at farms, landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and stranded gas sites.
This online event is open to all. If any of the below describe you, you will likely find the roundtable helpful:
You want to fund novel technology startups.
You are interested in understanding novel and entrepreneurial technology in and around the University of Maryland.
You are seeking to build partnerships and collaborate with technology entrepreneurs.
You are interested in finding an internship or job with technology startups.
Each entrepreneur will speak for no more than 10 minutes and will end their portion with a summary of their needs. Examples of needs might include talent, fundraising, customer intros, stakeholder and government connections, etc. A short Q&A session will follow for each entrepreneur after all presentations in breakout rooms.
The value of this event is in increasing connectivity between different stakeholders in the regional technology and entrepreneurship ecosystems. By holding this call, we hope to facilitate connections between entrepreneurs, supporters, funders, government, community members, and more.
