Loyola’s Baltipreneurs Accelerator Demo Day showcases local entrepreneurs

Loyola University Maryland’s Simon Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship will hold a Baltipreneurs Accelerator Demo Day, where entrepreneurs participating in the cohort at Loyola will showcase their ventures in a pitch competition, receive awards, and network with attendees.

The cohort includes Ina Kovacheva of Arch Dash, Bianca Jackson of BrickRose Exchange, Jen Fry, Ph.D., of Coordle, Paula Dofat of HBCU Money Guide, Matt Barinholtz of FutureMakers, Nina Guise-Gerrity of GFTD, Donta Henson of Los Hermanos Tequila, John Matthews of The Barrage, and Todd Sheridan of Treehouse Juicery.
