Founded in 2010, the GW Office of Entrepreneurship provides cross-disciplinary programming around innovation, education, venture creation, and making connections to support GW entrepreneurs and the Mid-Atlantic startup community. The office leverages the unique strengths of the university’s location in the nation’s capital to serve society at large through the knowledge and practice of entrepreneurship. Philanthropic support enables GW to scale existing events and create new initiatives that offer aspiring entrepreneurs opportunities to turn their ideas into actual business ventures.
“This is experiential learning at its best. The ability to imagine a solution to a problem and take that idea to market is true innovation.”
— Lex McCusker, director, GW New Venture Competition
