Program Overview
The LaunchPad program is geared towards helping startup companies (with the condition that tech is used as a core component to solve a problem) and entrepreneurs build the fundamental knowledge required to launch a successful company.
We believe that access to information, resources, and knowledge are vital to growing a path for success within the San Diego tech community. By providing a platform that fosters the foundation to success, it will allow beginners to more experienced entrepreneurs learn and gain holistic insight into the road ahead.
