Join The Sprint, UM Ventures, Baltimore’s multi-stage, fast-paced pitch competition designed to build momentum for and accelerate the development of new medical device technologies.

  • Open to UMB inventors interested in working to develop a technology for future commercialization.
  • Technologies may be at any stage of development.
  • Proposed technologies should solve a clearly identified healthcare problem. They may be part of a larger, more complex technology as long as designing, building, and testing furthers development in the allotted timeline.

Submission Deadline

Submissions should be emailed to OTT@umaryland.edu or Dustin.Lee@umaryland.edu.
