THE LAUNCHPAD Pitch Series is STartUP Northshore’s newest program spotlighting early-stage entrepreneurs with bold ideas and big ambitions. Designed as a fast-paced, high-visibility pitch experience, THE LAUNCHPAD offers founders the chance to take the stage, connect with investors, and compete for startup resources to power their next move.

This mini-pitch series builds on the momentum of our flagship NSpire Startup Slam and responds to growing demand for more frequent and accessible funding opportunities across the Northshore. Each event features three finalists pitching their ventures to a live panel of judges—with a total prize pool of $5,000 on the line.

Whether you're ready to pitch or just want to be inspired, THE LAUNCHPAD is where ideas lift off.
