Entrepreneurship in Health
Georgetown University’s Entrepreneurial Pilot Initiative in the Health and Wellness Space
Supporting Our Community in
Health & Wellness
Georgetown Entrepreneurship continues to create space for existing and aspiring entrepreneurs to explore their passions and translate ideas into new ventures, solving the toughest challenges and leaving the world a better place than how they found it.
Recognizing the urgent and growing need for this continued innovation within the health and wellness space, we launched a new pilot initiative to partner with leaders across the University and our community to provide more targeted entrepreneurial support to enable our students, alumni, faculty, and staff to embark on and be successful in furthering these ideas.
Through this pilot, Georgetown Entrepreneurship seeks to be a force multiplier for existing innovation programs, instill the entrepreneurial mindset in our thought leaders, and build the skillsets needed to make these ideas a reality.
