The Big Launch Challenge, a competition targeting the best startups in the country, is a unique opportunity to see 10 leading early stage companies as they compete for $15,000 in prize money from The Launch Place. Over the past 10 years of hosting this competition, The Launch Place has awarded over $200,000 to 21 companies. The Launch Place strives to foster an environment for new and serial entrepreneurs in which they can raise capital and have access to support services they need to take their products and/or solutions into the marketplace.
