The Big Launch Challenge (BLC) is an annual competition hosted by The Launch Place that targets the best startups in the country. It is a unique opportunity to see 10 leading early stage companies as they compete for $15,000 in prize money. The BLC offers startups valuable business networking opportunities, as well as critical resources. Since 2012, the Launch Place has awarded over $189,000 in BLC prize money to 19 start-up companies.

 

The top 10 finalists will have 10 minutes to pitch their business plans to a panel of investor judges followed by a short question and answer block.
