    ISO Help navigating UMD startup resources


    I'm a semi-recent graduate (BS '19) and I recently co-founded a supply chain analytics startup. I'm having trouble determining which UMD-affiliated resources are available for alumni founders and how to apply. I've checked Startup Shell's website and many of the resources are only available for current students. Many resources such as Mtech office hours have web pages that have not been updated since before COVID or even earlier in 2019. It is difficult to navigate which of these resources are open to alumni or are even still active.

    My cofounder (not a UMD alum) and I are primarily interested in startup accelerators and funding resources but are also open to networking. Any help determining which resources are available to us would be much appreciated.
