Some of us around Launch Chapel Hill expected, after the amazing Spring 2022 Accelerator Demo Day, that things might slow down just a bit around here. Ha! Luckily we were wrong: in the few weeks after demo day, we had visits from

The UNC System Faculty Fellows who joined us as part of a state-wide study of innovation and entrepreneurship across North Carolina

A group of Innovators from the University of Luxembourg who visited us as part of Prof Ted Zoller (Launch Chapel Hill founder, advisory board member and T.W. Lewis Distinguished Clinical Scholar and Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School) and his Fulbright Scholarship around global entrepreneurship

Almost 100 students from UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School’s MBA@UNC online MBA program (the #1 online MBA program in the world) who came together, from all over the US and the world, in Chapel Hill to meet, network and socialize, experience the campus, and learn about leadership and entrepreneurship

And, as much as any of us Launch want to think that the highlight of these visits was our awesome facility, friendly staff, or UNC faculty sponsors—the greatest buzz we heard focused on the panel of Launch chapel Hill alumni and founders who gave up several hours on a Saturday afternoon to dazzle the scores of people in attendance to share their experiences and advice.
