Our Jesuit Values

Our diverse community of entrepreneurs draws on Georgetown’s heritage as a Catholic and Jesuit institution. The students — who hail from all parts of the university — live the ideal of women and men for others. Entrepreneurship can be a powerful driver of both economic prosperity and sustainable social change, and we challenge students to pursue a path that will help themselves while helping the world.

We ask our entrepreneurs: How can you make the best difference in the world? How can you discover your true calling, and solve problems creatively?

“Cura personalis permeates every aspect of the university. There’s a focus on entrepreneurs building a business that has a strong moral fiber and social backbone. For me, entrepreneurship is the way that I can best impact positive social change in the world. I think a lot about environmental justice — policy is one way to do it. For me, taking cars off the road and giving people another option was a way for me to do my small part.”
