The LaunchVT Collegiate competition will be held on February 19th, 2016 from 3-6pm at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont.
LaunchVT has provided over $75,000 in cash prizes and almost double that in products and services to young entrepreneurs in Vermont. With the inaugural LaunchVT Collegiate competition in 2016, we are excited to bring that spirit of excellence and innovation to campuses across the state. Participating institutions will seek out the best startup team from within their student ranks, and teams from colleges and universities throughout Vermont will go head to head in a pitch competition on February 19, 2016 at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont. The team with the winning pitch will be awarded $7,500 and the opportunity to compete as a finalist in LaunchVT on May 5, 2016.
