The campus-based entrepreneurship program, available to more than 600,000 students in the United States and internationally, helps students turn ideas into small businesses while supporting local economies. The program has the potential to generate 3,900 new business ventures and 9,000 new jobs across Texas over the next three years.
ABOUT BLACKSTONE LAUNCHPAD: Blackstone LaunchPad is a campus-based entrepreneurship program through which aspiring entrepreneurs can grow ideas of any size - whether they came up with the concept an hour ago or have thought about it for years - and gain access to expertise and outside resources (legal, marketing, insurance and sales specialists, etc.). The program aims to drive economic development in communities around partner universities, increasing the likelihood that students remain and develop their ideas within the region. It is funded through the Blackstone Charitable Foundation, which was recognized by the Obama Administration's "Startup America" Initiative. * RSVP to Jenifer Sarver - [email protected]* ###
