Ideas Competition

The Blackstone LaunchPad Ideas Competition is designed to provide students with early-stage ideas to compete for cash prizes!

More importantly, participating students will gain access to the LaunchPad program on their campus, to get the support on their entrepreneurship journey and skill-building.

This signature program supports LaunchPad’s goal in de-risking entrepreneurship, broadening accessibility, and diversifying engagement with a focus on recruiting underrepresented and under-resourced students to participate. 

The competition is virtual, hosted on the StartupTree platform.

🏆PRIZES

The winners of the QCC Campus Round will take home $1,000. Furthermore, four (4) finalists from each campus will move forward to the Blackstone LaunchPad Network Round competing for $10,000 in additional prize money to further develop your idea.
