The Garage operates impactful programs and resources for Northwestern alumni founders, investors, and operators across the US.
Alumni VentureCat aims to feature and support innovative early-stage businesses founded by Northwestern University alumni by providing access and exposure to critical connections and resources. Selected alumni founders compete at the Finals Public Showcase for a chance to win $100,000.
The Garage is the heart of innovation, imagination, and collaboration at Northwestern. We are a motley crew of disruptors, makers, and curious problem solvers who can’t help but wonder… what if?
The Garage and its programs, supporting Northwestern student founders, is funded through the generous donations from individuals, families, foundations, and alumni that share our passion for shaping the next generation of makers, thinkers, and doers. Join us, and help us take learning beyond the classroom.
