Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, startup founder or the leader of a growing small business, Launch provides the essential resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to propel your ideas forward.
 
With workshops on the hot business topic of the day, an annual entrepreneur educational series, weekly open-door lab hours and one-on-one coaching and assistance, Launch offers multiple avenues for entrepreneurial growth and development. Each event is thoughtfully crafted to be interactive, inclusive, and impactful—turning creative ideas into successful ventures that contribute to a thriving economic future. BDCC also offers One-on-One support to get you through to your milestone both with our staff and through multiple regional partners.
