"LaunchX is great because it's challenging. You learn a lot from the experience when it comes from teamwork and collaboration. If you're in the program, you're already pretty good at whatever is your specialty. But trust me, this program will take you to a whole different level."

"This was a great opportunity and one of my best experiences. I got to make life-long friends, who I wish to continue my entrepreneurship journey with after LaunchX. I would love to also help others prosper as young entrepreneurs!"

"LaunchX provides a really unique experience when it comes to mentorship... With everyone’s experiences and insights we are able to receive so much feedback from a variety of opinions."

I enjoyed working with my team to solve a real-world problem with the guidance of LaunchX staff and interns.  I learned that entrepreneurship is better when played with a team... I also learned that entrepreneurship is also important because its skills can transfer over into other fields of work.
