Chamber President and CEO Aaron Nelson recently attended a celebration welcoming the fourth class of LAUNCH Chapel Hill. LAUNCH Chapel Hill is a start-up accelerator located in a 3500-sq.-ft. venture lab on Rosemary Street in downtown Chapel Hill. Dina Rousset, LAUNCH’s program director, said of the incoming cohort of entrepreneurs, “Throughout our competitive selection process, these teams stood out for both the caliber of their ideas and their potential for scale. We’re thrilled to welcome them to our space and look forward to seeing these diverse companies come into their own over the course of the next six to 12 months.”

LAUNCH is a one-of-a-kind partnership founded by a collaboration between UNC, the Town of Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership, and Orange County. Learn more online at launchchapelhill.com, or sign up as a mentor to these entrepreneurs at launchchapelhill.com/mentors.
