University of Wyoming students can take their ideas from the dorm room to the board room through the 2021 Fisher Innovation Launchpad.
The entrepreneurship challenge, designed specifically for UW students, is now open to all undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students. Teams may include UW employees or non-UW members, but each team must have at least one UW student or postdoctoral student in a primary role.
Students apply by proposing their business ideas, which must focus on innovative solutions. The Launchpad is now open and accepting applications through April 16.
Finalists of the Launchpad will be selected by a panel of judges and will have the opportunity to pitch their business models for seed funding. While there is no set limit on how much a finalist can receive, awards have historically ranged from $4,000 to $40,000. Final Pitch Day will take place in the fall.
Services and support for entrepreneurs across Wyoming will be expanded as a result of a $2.4 million CARES Act Recovery assistance grant to the University of Wyoming from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration.
The grant, to be matched with $600,000 in local investment, is expected to create 368 jobs and generate $1 million in private investment.
“Supporting local strategies designed to create stronger and more resilient economies in response to the coronavirus pandemic is a top priority for EDA,” Dennis Alvord, acting assistant secretary of commerce for economic development said. “This project will broaden the University of Wyoming’s IMPACT 307 business incubator program to serve statewide clients through a hybrid virtual and in-person startup launch and entrepreneurial support structure.”
