Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures

This ONEHopkins, support student entrepreneurship through the Ignite Fund at FastForward U!

FastForward U works with all students, from undergrad to post-doc, to support their entrepreneurial pursuits and turn good ideas into viable businesses. We empower creators and change-makers, entrepreneurs and innovators, doers and go-getters. From making at-home dialysis safer and more accessible, to cooking up sustainable bioplastic jewelry in an apartment kitchen, student entrepreneurs are making an impact on the world.

Today is your opportunity to IGNITE student entrepreneurship at Johns Hopkins. Your gift today will provide fast and flexible funding to propel student ventures to new heights. You can help a student-run venture develop their first prototype or mobile app, design a website or logo, or travel to an industry conference for business development.

The funding requested from the Ignite Fund for these important business tasks ranges from $200 - $1,000. By enabling student entrepreneurs to access funding in real time, FastForwardU’s Ignite Fund is leveling the playing field for entrepreneurs of any background to make progress on their venture.

For your gift of $25 or more, you’ll receive a limited-edition, vintage-style JHU t-shirt as a token of our appreciation.*

With countless causes to support and endless possibilities for research and discovery, ALL contributions will strengthen ONEHopkins.

THANK YOU for supporting our next generation of trailblazers.

*Please see FAQ section for details regarding t-shirts. Your gift is tax-deductible, less the fair market value ($9) of the vintage t-shirt, should you choose to receive it.
