An easy one to get us back into the swing of things. We have an exclusive opportunity for LaunchNET clients to boost their credentials and LinkedIn profiles, an exciting event for Ohio founders, and the ideal space for creatives here on campus.
P.S. If we haven't chatted recently, what are you waiting for? We're nosy, we want to hear how your summer plans and business ventures are going. Hit us up ⬇️

Are you a regular LaunchNET client? Have you participated in a presentation style event like Elevator Pitch or the Showcase? Then you might be eligible for our brand new Venture Builder Badge!
Editors Note: I know that read like an informercial, but it's legit and really cool so just go with me here.
The final step for qualification is completing the Burton D. Morgan Foundation Program Survey. After submitting the survey we will go in and review your venture meetings and event status to see if you qualify for a badge.
