Subject: Computer Science Hatchery Accepting Applications

Description:
The Mokhtarzada Hatchery was launched in 2021 to help University of Maryland
students develop and launch startups. Created by Terps for Terps, the
Hatchery provides dedicated working space and mentors to help student
entrepreneurs get their fearless ideas and startups into the best shape
possible. The Hatchery is located in the Brendan Iribe Center for Computer
Science and Engineering on UMD’s College Park campus.

Student teams apply in the fall semester to join the Hatchery and can request
funding up to $10,000 per team per year, thanks to generous support from UMD
alumni and brothers Haroon, Idris, and Zeki Mokhtarzada. Teams will be
selected on the basis of an idea that targets interesting problems with focus
and passion. A maximum of four teams will be selected to join the Hatchery
each year.

Each team is paired with a successful entrepreneur who will be the team’s
mentor. The students will meet regularly with their mentor and report their
progress. The meetings will also be a place for students to discuss the
challenges they’re working through, get assistance, and learn from their
peers and mentors who may have overcome similar obstacles.

The first student startups will join the Mokhtarzada Hatchery in Fall 2021.
Applications will be available on September 21, 2021 and will close on
October 10, 2021 at midnight ET.
