Montana student entrepreneurs get assistance from the Blackstone LaunchPad

Blackstone LaunchPad landed in Montana last summer with the announcement that Blackstone Charitable Foundation would bankroll business incubators for student entrepreneurs on the campuses of the state’s two biggest universities.

"We’ve got a place on the MSU campus Strand Union Building, actually in the cafeteria," said Rob Irizarry, director of Blackstone Launchpad Montana State University. He’s happy with the venue. "Everybody has to eat — it’s location, location location."

Irizarry and Launchpad’s staff of four work with people "all along the arc of their entrepreneurship with questions about their projects. … We take them wherever they are and help them along at their own pace." He called it a guiding sort of relationship.
