About Coach Carter

Hi, my name is Kevin Carter.
‍
Some of my friends call me Coach.

As a former student entrepreneur myself at Georgetown University, I know what a game-changer it can be to have your university’s support and resources while building a venture. And as the first Student Program Manager for FastForward U - Johns Hopkins University's (JHU) student entrepreneurship center - I’ve worked with over 300 student ventures.

Beginning in Fall 2017, the FastForward U team and I laid the foundation for a university entrepreneurship center at JHU. That included opening a brand new 10,000 square ft. innovation hub/makerspace, creating a mentor engagement program for Johns Hopkins alumni, allocating $250,000+ in non-dilutive funding for promising student ventures, and launching a two-track accelerator program in order to help student entrepreneurs take their ventures to the next level.

My goal now is to use my experience gained while at JHU in order to assist other universities in their mission to create thriving university entrepreneurial ecosystems. And I do that by getting right to the core of their mission - providing value to student entrepreneurs.
