Summer is headed our way and the LaunchPad will be open for business. If you’re on campus, drop by Bird Library and feel free to work here. If you’re working from a remote location, we are also available by phone or video chat all summer. This is our last newsletter of the semester, but follow us on LinkedIn to stay in the loop on programs, people, activities, events and resources. Summer is a great way to work on your venture idea.
Here are some fun ways to stay engaged:
Kick around ideas with us. Been noodling an idea around in your head but don’t have anyone to talk to about it? We’re here for you. Reach out to LaunchPad@syr.edu for a chat.
Get coaching. Summer is the time to double down on coaching. E-mail us at LaunchPad@syr.edu to get coaching. Our mentor list rapidly expanding through alumni and industry connections who are happy to help provide feedback and guidance. Learn more about our mentorship program here.
Build your roadmap. We have a roadmap process that will get you from idea to launch. It’s a surefire recipe for success. Check it out, and access tons of other free resources on our website. Summer is the time to build that venture that you didn’t have time for during the academic year – and also a great time to make traction on what you’re already started.
Work on your pitch. There are so many exciting competitions coming up this academic year. Get a head start on them by building your pitch deck or refining the one you have. Get feedback. Practice. It could also be time to try that pitch out on some investors. We can help get you ready.
Catch up on summer reading. The Blackstone Launchpad Innovation and Entrepreneurship Book Collection continues to grow, with many titles available in electronic editions. This award-winning collection, crowdsourced with the help of faculty, staff and students, is one of the most widely circulated categories of books at SU Libraries. Entrepreneurship starts with exploration, and there is no time like summer to kick back and read. Here’s a link to the Innovation and Entrepreneurship book collection.
