Celebrate entrepreneurship this summer with the kickoff of Maine Community Bank’s LaunchPad, Maine’s premier competition for innovative small businesses.

​Join us at the Roux Institute at Northeastern University as we partner with them for a high-energy happy hour celebrating Maine’s startup community and the opening of applications for Maine Community Bank’s LaunchPad, now a $75,000 grant pitch competition.

​Bring a friend and connect with founders, mentors, and investors from across Maine’s entrepreneurial ecosystem – and meet LaunchPad alumni to learn what it takes to make it to the stage for your chance at MCB’s $75,000 grant.

​What to expect:

• Complimentary drinks and hor d’oeuvres
• Unstructured networking
• Meet past LaunchPad alumni, winners, judges, and fellow prospective applicants
• Enjoy views of Casco Bay from the Roux’s patio

​Parking is available on-site in the parking garage

​Bringing a guest is highly encouraged. We’ll see you there!

​Hosted by Nexus Maine in partnership with Maine Community Bank and the Roux Institute at Northeastern University
