The Texas LaunchPad Network began in 2020 thanks to a generous grant from the Blackstone Charitable Foundation as part of the Texas LaunchPad -  a signature program that seeks to close the opportunity gap by equipping college and university students with the entrepreneurial skills needed to build lasting careers. Since then, TLN has grown into a coalition of ten UT System institutions with the shared goals of encouraging statewide collaboration on entrepreneurship education to improve the lives of young people and drive economic growth across Texas.


In 3 years, we’ve collectively raised an additional $3.3M for our entrepreneurship centers, served over 20,000 students statewide, and have the potential to reach almost a quarter million students within the University of Texas System.
