At xFoundry@UMD, students engage in immersive competitions and projects aimed at cultivating the mindset and skills of a founder.
Through these experiences, students develop essential qualities such as adaptability, resourcefulness, risk tolerance, and resilience—attributes critical for success in any career.
Working closely with teammates, students learn to navigate ambiguity, think creatively under pressure, and effectively tackle complex problems.
Meet the team behind xFoundry@UMD who are passionate about supporting student entrepreneurship and fostering a community of creative problem-solvers.
xFoundry is launched out of the E. A. Fernandez IDEA Factory at the University of Maryland.
We tackle global challenges across seven distinct domains through collaboration and entrepreneurship, shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
