Blackstone entrepreneurship program getting underway at University of Montana – Director Position Open

The search for a new director is underway, the offices will be shelled out soon and, if all goes well, the Blackstone LaunchPad program at the University of Montana will begin accepting student entrepreneurs by spring.

Montana became the fifth state nationally to receive funding from the Blackstone Charitable Foundation to launch an entrepreneurship program aimed at bringing new business ideas to fruition.

The state received the three-year, $2 million grant in July to build the program at UM and Montana State University. In September, Blackstone hired Pamela Haxby-Cote in Butte to serve as the state’s regional director, essentially bridging the two schools.
