Startup Shell Applications are Open

Want to join a community of creators and entrepreneurs? Join Startup Shell! Our application is open till February 17th at https://startupshell.org/apply.


Startup Shell is UMD’s home for creators and entrepreneurs. We are a student-run startup incubator and coworking space at UMD that provides students with the space, resources, and network to build and scale their startups. For the last 10 years, we’ve brought together the university’s most innovative students to develop ventures that are collectively valued at over $1B. Our members have been a part of YCombinator, raised multimillion-dollar seed rounds, and successfully exited their companies. 


Startup Shell members get access to:

  • A 24/7 co-working space in the IDEA Factory

  • A network of 600+ entrepreneurs and industry professionals

  • $100K worth of physical and digital resources (https://startupshell.org/resources)

  • A tight-knit and supportive community of fellow creators across campus

  • Mentorship and funding to take their startups to the next level

  • Community events such as retreats and dinners

  • A table at Shell Expo, our semesterly showcase where we bring in investors, University officials, and friends of Shell

  • And much more...


We will also be hosting multiple events in the Shell space (4462 Stadium Drive (IDEA Factory) Room #1101) open to everyone!
