Blackstone Launchpad
Ready to launch?
The Blackstone LaunchPad network ensures entrepreneurship is accessible and relevant to every Univeristy of Florida student, regardless of major or future goals.
Blackstone joins the Warrington College of Business’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center to create a campus hub for innovation, where students cultivate entrepreneurial skills, receive guidance from a dedicated faculty director, and connect with like-minded peers.
A powerful network
The LaunchPad network gives students opportunities to learn from established entrepreneurs, business leaders and Blackstone professionals. Through this, they see what entrepreneurial skills look like in a day-to-day career context and are mentored as they bring their ideas to life.
