After a forced hiatus in 2020 because of the pandemic, Gorham Savings Bank s annual LaunchPad competition is back this year in a virtual format.
Applications are now open for the eighth edition of the annual small business competition, in which promising small businesses will vie for a $50,000 grant from the bank with a livestream event planned for June 1.
“We’re truly excited to bring LaunchPad back this year and can’t wait to review the applications. We know we are going to learn a lot about how Maine’s small businesses have adapted and innovated to meet the new reality and address new needs and challenges,” said Steve deCastro, president and CEO of Gorham Savings Bank, in a news release.
