Welcome to StartupTree

The Blackstone LaunchPad Network makes entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial skills accessible and relevant for all college students to help them build thriving companies and careers. LaunchPad builds next-generation companies and careers. We work with higher education institutions to deliver proven startup resources, facilitate access to a global network of mentors and advisors, and offer unique virtual and physical convening opportunities so thousands of college students can go further, faster. Students learn by doing, gaining knowledge and critical skills to help them succeed as a founder or contributor to the 21st century economy. We make entrepreneurship more accessible while students are still in school, helping them build companies and develop entrepreneurial skills to ensure career readiness.
