‘Pitch for a Million’ Real Estate Fellows Competition
February 7, 2024
‘Pitch for a Million’ Real Estate Fellows Competition
Support LAI Member Seema Iyer, an advisor and co-founder of the Real Estate Fellows Program, also chimed in, underscoring the program’s mission of identifying and supporting developers who possess a deep understanding of the city’s neighborhoods and their unique needs. Come cheer on Cohort 4 of the University of Baltimore’s Real Estate Fellows and Venture Challenge.
Join the finale to what has been a remarkable journey for members of Cohort 4 of the Real Estate Fellows at The University of Baltimore as they complete their 10 weeks of intensive study by pitching their neighborhood development proposal to a panel of experts.
Since last fall, these aspiring UBalt student and alumni entrepreneurs, who are interested in addressing critical development needs within Baltimore’s middle-market neighborhoods, have worked to identify a Baltimore City neighborhood, created a project with a development plan, and prepared an application for financing.
And now it’s time for them to present their ideas in front of a live audience! Judges representing the local real estate and economic development community will select the winners. The winning proposal will receive at least $10,000 in equity for their project and begin the underwriting process to get the necessary financing up to $1 million in a “Guidance Line of Credit” from Baltimore Community Lending to proceed with the project.
Come cheer on our participants!
· Date: Thursday, February 8, 5-8 p.m.
· Location: UBalt Student Center | 21 W Mt Royal Street | Wright Theater, 5th Floor
