Our Programs

The annual GEA/GAIN Alumni Pitch Competition provides a platform to showcase Hoya-founded ventures. Georgetown alumni are selected to pitch their companies to a panel of judges in front of a live audience of fellow alumni, investors, and Georgetown community members.

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 demonstrate the spirit of “people for others” and a passion for innovation and creativity.

The GEA Experts on Call (EOC) Program connects seasoned entrepreneurs with current students and fellow alumni to share advice, experience, resources, networking, and more. Connections are made via the Hoya Gateway, Georgetown University’s premier networking platform.
