Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship | EcoMap Technologies Overview Ecosystem Relationship Manager EcoMap Discover Ecosystem Chatbot Nonprofit Intelligence Dashboard Economic Intelligence Monitor Custom Services & Solutions Overview State & Local Government Economic Development Organizations Chambers of Commerce & Regional Alliances Entrepreneur Support Organizations Higher Education & Workforce Development Industry & Sector Associations Customer Stories The hub for entrepreneurial activity at Johns Hopkins The Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship supports student entrepreneurs and recent alumni across Johns Hopkins University from its base in Baltimore.
The center offers programming, mentorship, and non-dilutive grant and prize funding ranging from $100 to $140,000. The Ignite Fund offers monthly awards for early ideas. Semester-long accelerators provide stipends and structured support.
The Blaze program and Innovation & Entrepreneurship Challenge award up to $30,000 for advanced teams. And the President's Venture Fellowship provides up to $100,000 for student-led, incorporated ventures, along with a salary stipend and a partial scholarship to the Carey Business School. Funding that's hard to find Johns Hopkins has built a rich ecosystem of entrepreneurial support.
The challenge is that those opportunities are spread across multiple schools, departments, and partner organizations, each with its own application process, eligibility criteria, and timeline. For a student trying to figure out what's available and where to start, the experience can be frustrating. The resources exist.
They just live in different places, and no single view brings them together in a way that helps students find the right fit based on where they are and what they need. Students can find relevant opportunities in one place instead of working through multiple sites and program pages. The hub is designed to close the gap between having an idea and finding the resources to move it forward.
Discover keeps the information current as programs evolve, application windows open and close, and new opportunities are added, so the hub stays accurate without requiring the Pava Center team to maintain listings manually.
A partnership with personal significance The Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship is named in honor of Pava LaPere , co-founder of EcoMap Technologies and a driving force behind the company's mission to build infrastructure that connects people to the resources they need.

The center bearing her name is now using EcoMap's technology to help the next generation of Johns Hopkins entrepreneurs find funding and support. That continuity is not lost on anyone at EcoMap. Learn more about the Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship at https://pavacenter.

Johns Hopkins is committing $60 million a year to a new Research Resilience Fund for faculty hit by federal grant terminations and delays — and it is not alone.
