LaunchUp

Basically, the idea behind LaunchUp.org is the 2022 version of a good old-fashioned barn raising applied to technology entrepreneurship.

We help entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground.

Here are some things we believe have framed our thoughts:

• time and experience are more valuable than money
• serving and helping others is greatly needed right now
• the world, and especially America, have real (and really big) problems
• entrepreneurs are the world’s problem solvers
• technology is the key to unlocking solutions to really big problems
• entrepreneurs need help, no matter how experienced or successful
• everyone has skills or experience that could benefit the entrepreneurship community
• the ‘ecosystem of entrepreneurship’ (entrepreneurs, investors, universities, advisors, service providers, organizations) that currently exists can be leveraged by some new community-focused ideas

LaunchUp.org is going to help entrepreneurs in new ways. A community-based advisory board if you will. A way to help get some companies launched, or help existing companies launch past problems to new levels. Make the world a better place by being innovative and disruptive, since, IMHO, that’s the essence of entrepreneurship and technology.

Everything isn’t figured out yet, that’s for sure. So if you’re a risk-taker, a doer, a maker of things, and you’d like to be involved, email me. We’ve got some barns to raise, and barns need lots of barn builders to get built.
