- Campus Connect (WSE): An online platform aiming to boost collaboration within the student-led startup ecosystem. By providing students with a portal to both hire or look to join another student, CampusConnect streamlines the process of forming connections within and between schools.
- Codahx (SOM, WSE): Uses AI to help patients lower their medical costs. Through their web app, users can scan their bills for overcharging and apply for eligible financial assistance, all with a few clicks.
- Fetal Therapy Technologies (WSE): Partnered with the Johns Hopkins Center for Fetal Therapy to develop a novel, radially expanding port system that is optimized for fetal surgeries. Currently, there are no FDA-approved fetal surgical instruments; Fetal Therapy Technologies aims to create instruments for the uterine environment.
- KaraOrchee (Peabody): A digital platform designed to empower classical musicians through innovative technology, offering smart virtual orchestral accompaniment, real-time musical interaction, and a connected online classical music community. The venture bridges the gap between musicians, educators, and enthusiasts, aiming to revolutionize classical music performance and education.
- Nestor Health (WSE, KSAS): A medtech software company focused on bringing sustainable interoperability to the healthcare industry. They use real-time data exchange and easy-to-learn software that will help increase efficiency in the workflow of providers and reduce burdens on patients, especially for smaller or solo practices.
- Ovelia (WSE): An app designed to help reproductive-age women identify their risk of having polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), connect with relevant healthcare resources, and prevent long-term consequences of PCOS, such as infertility & type 2 diabetes.

Protice will guide members through the healthcare system, making informed decisions that fit their busy lifestyles and alleviate the stress of healthcare decision-making.
- Scheduling Wizard (WSE): Simplifies the scheduling process by creating a custom software solution for any scheduling problem. High school administrators are expected to either learn complicated and inflexible software systems or schedule by hand, both of which are time-consuming, and resource-intensive and lead to suboptimal schedules. Scheduling Wizard’s software can deliver effective schedules and an interface to manage and disseminate these schedules directly to schools.
- Sunkara Wellness (SOM): A unique meditation solution combining neurology, meditation, and engineering: a headset and companion app designed for individuals with depression and anxiety, especially those who haven’t responded to conventional therapies. Sunkara’s system uses neuromodulation, mindfulness therapy, and AI journaling to stimulate mood-regulating brain networks, like those activated by advanced meditation practices.
