LaunchNET News: Here's to You, and Me, and Us

Let's take a look back on this semester
The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State
It has been a semester for the books! We had some good laughs, some stressful times, more tea than one should drink, and the most fun with our favorite people -- you.

Thank you all for a wonderful semester. We've had a great time learning from and working with you. Good luck on exams, any active pursuits, and have a lovely holiday season 🧡

We'll talk to you later!

As a reminder, clients will be NOT be able to book advising meetings from now to January 3. Email launchnet@kent.edu if you need anything.
Music for the Makers
band
Entrepreneurs come in all shapes and sizes, including musicians. To kick off the fall semester we hosted the Innovators Hub music fest with Design Innovation!

We collaborated with Capybara Collective to bring in some fantastic local artists to set the tone for the semester.
Pitching for Profit
student
The annual Elevator Pitch competition! It's such a proud moment for us to see our entrepreneurs share their business ideas and cheer each other on.

This year we were fortunate enough to partner with Redbull to provide our top winners with an additional little prize. 
She's Paving the Way
presentation
HerBiz happened for the first time! This program helped propel women-identifying entrepreneurs in the beginning stages of their ventures.

We had a myriad of speakers and ideas come through and foresee a bright future for this program.
A Star-Studded Showcase
tabling
Ah, our favorite event of the year: The Small Business Showcase.

This event has taken on many different themes and paths, but we've found a recipe for success and we were happy to see the biggest turnout we've ever had! 
Terrific Tidbits
Professional development with a side of tacos, highly recommend. We brought a group of student entrepreneurs to FutureLAND this semester to get inspired, build their networks, and goof off a little.
What started from a simple misunderstanding has grown into a thriving program. Yes, LaunchNET does have lunch -- on certain occasions and featuring local founders. This semester we wove through the ins and outs of fashion design with Jasmine Rene Studio. 
Tis the season...for babies! We just wanted to give a quick shoutout to our LaunchNET teammates and clients that are having little disruptors of their own. Congrats to all of you and your growing families!
