Alumna Earn University System of Maryland "Launch Fund" Capital
 
Shelby Blondell

Shelby Blondell, a UBalt MBA alumna and inventor of "The Sheller," was one of the entrepreneurs to receive a grant from the University System of Maryland's "Launch Fund." The Launch Fund connects early-stage entrepreneurs—builders, creators, and innovators to existing resources, mentorship, and capital. It creates a new capital source designed to fill gaps and connect to other capital and resources.

While a student at UBalt, she created the first, patented, stainless steel seafood multi-tool, crab mallet, picker, and bottle opener. Shelby earned two degrees at UBalt—a B.S. in Business Administration- entrepreneurship in 2015 and an MBA in 2018.
