1. LAUNCHPAD is a hackathon aiming to showcase the caliber of
tech talent available in the Southeast. We are partnering with
universities across the region to give students free access to this
event and free reign to connect with others in the community and
collaborate to launch their ideas. Launchpad is assembling some
of the brightest minds in the South to spend 24 hours on original
mobile, hardware, software, and web projects.
WHY GET INVOLVED?
Launchpad is creating a hub of talent and creativity in a previously
fragmented region. Sponsorship will give you unparalleled access
to the top tech talent in the Southeast and the chance to be in a
privileged position as the region takes off. Students are
encouraged to work on original hacks, but sponsors can get
involved through tech talks, API access, branded merchandise,
and much more.
Because Launchpad 2015 is the very first, this year’s Sponsors
have the unique opportunity to help College Launchpad create an
enduring culture and experience that will shape this event and
those to come.
