Part of the Pitch Dingman Competition, UMD’s signature venture competition awarding $170,000 in seed funding across multiple tracks, the Luby Idea Track is built for students at the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey. From notebook scribbles to first prototypes, these founders are taking their first big step.
