Just as we wanted, Launchpad threw us into the fire with a steep learning curve! Highly recommended!

Accounting Student

The most beneficial thing about Launchpad for me was being able to ask questions and bounce ideas off this group.

- Rose Wong, 2018 Launchpad Participant
Business Student

Launchpad was an exciting experience that provided very real life feedback about starting a business in Hawai‘i. The mentors were very supportive and encouraging and this reassurance definitely gave us the drive and motivation to keep pushing forward in our startup endeavors.

There is nothing more valuable than taking an idea and testing it in the field, and in front of peers that are on the same level of exploration.

PACE provided what could have been 4 years worth of education in 6 weeks. Wow, that was incredibly valuable!

- Savannah Adler, 2018 Launchpad Participant

PACE was the compass that guided me to enlightenment by understanding and preparing me for my entrepreneurial adventure.
