Ignite Your Ideas, Fuel Your Future

Jasmine Ball. Secure the Look.

"The Launchpad Entrepreneurship Program has had on my business and my perspective on entrepreneurship. Since joining the program, I have gained valuable insights and knowledge that have completely transformed the way I approach my business.​ Having and operating a brick-and-mortar location, I realized that I was working backwards in many aspects of my business. The Launchpad program has helped me to see business in a different light, enabling me to become more strategic and organized in my approach. I have honed my financial skills and improved my understanding of spreadsheets, making it much easier for me to articulate my business needs when seeking funding."
