#StartupGVL Launchpad, first introduced in 2022, is an event designed to showcase, celebrate and help launch Greenville’s up-and-coming early-stage businesses.
We’re putting out an open call to all Upstate entrepreneurs to apply for and compete in this unique event, with the hopes they could win valuable support to expand or launch their business.
How does it work?
Participating startups can apply for any or all of the resource offerings donated by local organizations, but they can win only one. Supporting sponsors agree to work with their winning startup and provide a pre-set scope of donated support.
