About Venture Coach

Individuals and start-ups at any stage and in any industry can seek support from the expertise of the team at Blackstone LaunchPad powered by Techstars.

As venture coaches work with student entrepreneurs to refine ideas, coaches may also guide the student to other resources or professionals that can help push the project forward. In later stages, coaches encourage students to build a business plan and create a one-minute pitch.
