The Maryland Momentum Fund (MMF) was established to invest in promising early-stage companies associated with the University System of Maryland (USM). The fund is focused on companies raising “late seed” rounds, where investments will fill grant and early stage funding gaps in anticipation of a series A round within 18 to 24 months. Founded by the USM Board of Regents with the objective to promote the economic development initiatives of the state, Momentum will give particular attention to developing the innovation ecosystem in key sectors of regional and USM institutional strength. Investments will generally range from $150,000 to $500,000, with $250,000 being the most likely sum, in the form of convertible notes or equity purchases. In all cases, an investment matching (1:1) Momentum funding must be obtained within 6 months. A Maryland-based company is eligible if intellectual property is owned by a USM institution, the principal founder or inventor is a USM faculty, graduate, or student, or if the company is located at a USM research park, incubator, or RISE Zone. Applications are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Eligible companies may notify the Momentum Fund of its intention to seek funding or request a meeting at any time via email. Notices of intent may be sent to Fund Director, David W. Wise, at dwise@umaryland.edu. The review process will also require the company to create a GUST profile. Applicants who are not accepted may be held on active status and receive coaching from Momentum or USM staff to prepare the company for future consideration.

Blu Venture Investors is a venture capital investment company that supports early stage entrepreneurs in the Mid-Atlantic Region – Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC and North Carolina. We typically invest $500K to $1.0M in a single round. When larger financing rounds are needed, we actively look to syndicate deals with other investment groups in our network. Our goal is an accelerated, successful exit, for both company founders and investors alike. Our investors are experienced, successful operating executives with experience in a broad range of industries and business models. Each of our investors has successfully launched new companies, products or services. The Blu Ventures Affiliate Program is a “by invitation only” group of accredited investors. These investors are provided Blu due diligence materials and quarterly/annual reporting of our portfolio companies. They invest alongside the Blu principals and benefit from our close engagement with our portfolio companies. Affiliates have the opportunity to invest via an opt-in model which mirrors those deals in which Blu members have already agreed to invest. This unique arrangement affords the affiliate members exposure to deal flow they would not see, substantive due diligence, and institutional-quality documentation and governance—all without the time commitment. Twice per year, we invite the affiliates for a Blu meeting and reception to network with principals and one another.
