Startups and entrepreneurs involved with Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures secured hundreds of patents and invention disclosures, and brought in millions of dollars in funding in fiscal year 2017.
The group oversees the intellectual property — dealing with licenses, patents and commercialization of technologies — coming out Johns Hopkins. The organization supports startup companies through funding, resources and mentorship, and manages several FastForward incubator/accelerator campuses.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, Tech Ventures opened its FastForward location at R. House, within walking distance of the university’s Homewood campus, to support up to 10 startups at a time. The organization will also soon be moving its student-dedicated FastForward U location into Remington’s Grey Ghost building, across from R. House.
