LIVE EVENT
A leading historically Black university in Washington, with a powerful alumni network across law, medicine, and business.
Howard University is among the most prominent historically Black colleges and universities, with schools of law, medicine, business, and communications that have shaped American public life for well over a century.
Its alumni network is unusually influential relative to the university's size, particularly across law, government, and media.
Howard's founders operate inside Washington's government-oriented technology economy while drawing on a national alumni network spanning many industries.
The university has become a focus for corporate and venture initiatives aimed at broadening founder pipelines, which has increased the capital and programme access available to its students.
Alumni founders are visible across media, consumer brands, financial services, health, and government technology.
The university's national reputation gives its founders reach well beyond Washington, particularly through alumni in senior corporate and public roles.
Washington-area venture funds and a growing number of funds focused on underrepresented founders are active with Howard companies.
Corporate venture programmes have also directed capital and mentorship toward the university's founder community.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
