By •

On December 7, 2023, the Office of Technology Management celebrated the third annual Welcome to the Wall, an event recognizing and celebrating WashU faculty startup companies. After a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, OTM was pleased to once again hold this celebration in person.

In 2023, OTM was proud to make the milestone of 100 WashU faculty startup companies. Below are just a few photos highlighting the WashU first “Class of 100”.
