LAUNCH
Mission
LAUNCH's mission is connecting the resources of the University of Michigan-Flint and the community to promote local talent, support regional networks, advance national trends and explore international possibilities.
Introduction
For several years the Center for Entrepreneurship (CE) lived up to its name as the place in Genesee County where fledgling entrepreneurs could get support. Positive changes in the last two years have greatly expanded the number of organizations that do this type of work. Instead of using a model that duplicates the work of others, CE chose instead to break new ground to address community needs. A name change, several innovative new program areas and a broad array of project partners and funders are the result.
The LAUNCH Pad
LAUNCH is an open-door learning place focusing on youth, entrepreneurship, community and creativity. The LAUNCH Pad hosts a student business hatchery, workshops, networking seminars, community organization meetings and high school entrepreneurs.
