Madison Trust
Madison Trust supports the innovative work of JMU faculty and staff members while creating a one-of-a -kind experience for investor-judges.
How it Works
- First, a call goes out to faculty and staff asking them to submit their projects for consideration.
- By email, we invite investor-judges to help decide which 10 projects will be presented.
- On Friday, February 28, 2020 presenters and investors will gather in person at JMU for the presentation of final projects.
- Through their interactions with presenters on that day, investor-judges enhance actual innovations.
- Ultimately, investor-judges embrace their intuition and expertise to make day-of funding decisions.
