The Launch Pad at The University of Miami offers career guidance, resources, and advice to entrepreneurs, innovators, and inventors at the University of Miami. Our mission at The Launch Pad is to show University of Miami students and alumni that starting a new venture and being an entrepreneur is a legitimate career path. We encourage every UM student who wants to start a new venture - either for-profit or not for profit - to do so in South Florida and thereby contribute to the economic and social growth of our region. The Launch Pad at UM - we help the folks who get stuff done.
