Alumni Pitch Competition

The annual GEA Alumni Pitch Competition provides a platform to showcase Hoya-founded ventures, allowing Georgetown alumni to pitch their company to a panel of judges in front of a live audience of fellow alumni, investors, and Georgetown community members. The prize is a pooled investment sponsored by angel investors who are members of the Georgetown Angel Investor Network (GAIN).

Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards

The annual GEA Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards celebrate alumni companies in a variety of categories, providing the community an opportunity to recognize the contributions of its alumni who embody the spirit of ‘people for others’ and exemplify a passion for innovation and creativity.
