What our alumni Say About Us

Testimonials

"Georgetown Entrepreneurship has had a really impactful role in our company’s development, especially at the early stages. The opportunities afforded to us as part of the Georgetown Venture Lab have been fantastic.”

"Access to the Venture Lab network, Georgetown EiRS, and Lab resources has been pivotal in our company's growth and a material catalyst in getting the company scaled to the next level. We've gotten perspective, connections, business strategy, practiced the business description to external parties, and mentored GU students. It's overall been a valuable experience."

“I love the Georgetown Venture Lab! It was our first home: the space, as well as the warm, helpful community, and increased connection to the Georgetown family have all been so wonderful to infuse into our journey. The Lab has absolutely helped us build and grow to where we are, and is a continued driver of what we could be. I can't recommend it highly enough."

"The Venture Lab is an invaluable launch pad for growing your venture. Without mentorship from the Lab's deep bench of seasoned, serious Entrepreneurs in Residence, the opportunity to meet and interact with other awesome and like-minded Lab members, or a suite of startup resources steeped in Georgetown values and excellence, we might not have hit our first million--or our second."
