Mission Statement

HopStone Capital aims to provide students with an immersive experience in the world of venture capital. Students will conduct diligence and analysis on prospective deals, make investment decisions, and contribute materially to portfolio companies post-investment.

We empower early-stage and venture aspiring businesses within the Johns Hopkins community. In the form of non-dilutive grants, we offer valuable funding to founders diluting any of their equity. HopStone looks to assist founders post-investment through connections, workshops, and mentorship.

Combining the experience of our members with significant investments into Hopkins-affiliated startups, we hope to uplift Johns Hopkins to become a collegiate startup hub. We are committed to diversity and inclusivity as foundational principles on which this organization was built. The HopStone community is open to students, founders, and advisors from all socioeconomic and professional backgrounds. We maintain a culture of open dialogue to foster not only the development of HopStone as a startup arena, but the individuals who make our operations possible.
