Launch Pad wins $25,000
504ward’s competition this past Saturday had a surprise winner! At the end, the competition’s organizer changed the rules to award New Orleans’ own space for small businesses, freelancers and entrepreneurs a new prize that wasn’t originally part of the awards. That prize was a $25,000 cash prize that will go towards improvements in the Launch Pad, which launches on June 1st 2009.
Among several new announcements is a strategic partnership with VCE Capital to provide fundraising assistance to new businesses. What’s next!?
