Jake Grim, 2021 LION Tank Winner

“Through LaunchBox, I gained real-world experience in entrepreneurship that you cannot find in a classroom. The program also connected me with industry leaders and mentors. Lastly, the Mont Alto LaunchBox awarded our team funding which helped us launch Table Rock Markets. The Mont Alto LaunchBox Rocks!”
