LaunchNET News: Ohio is for Lovers

and October is for Pitching.
The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State
If you felt like something was missing from your life last week, you were right, and it was me.

Guys I fully intended to send out the newsletter last week but life had other plans for me. And ignoring life seemed risky, like there'd be some serious repercussions to those actions.

But n-ee-ways, it's October. The calendar is full, the leaves are changing, and it's time to pitch. 

Highlights for the week: places to practice and improv your pitch, Elevator Pitch with a prize pool of $3,000 (!), and oh what's that -- a partnership with Red Bull 👀
