Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures (JHTV) partnered with Microsoft to give five-figure funding to three startups, founded by faculty and students of the eponymous university, that are addressing environmental and medical challenges.
The total of $150,000, which the companies split equally, was granted via the Microsoft Innovation Acceleration Awards program, which a statement that JHTV released today described as “an extension of a collaboration” that Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and the software giant set up in 2020. The awards, like that collaboration, aim to help JHU-affiliated startups launch, scale and commercialize.
