Our Journey So Far

Launch Into Networking — November 4, 2025

Our pilot Launch Into Networking event brought together 8 mentors, 6 students, and a few proud parents for an afternoon of learning and connection at the Brookfield Public Library. Students took the lead — running the event from start to finish with roundtable discussions, networking scripts, and open conversations. Mentors guided them through real-world introductions and shared feedback that helped everyone grow in confidence and skill.

This event, held in partnership with the Launch Program, was a huge success and set the stage for future gatherings. Based on the excitement and feedback, we plan to host quarterly networking events like this, alongside our ongoing EEZ certifications and mentorship programs that continue to empower young entrepreneurs across the community.

From one of our Mentors:

“Thank you for the privilege of joining your LAUNCH Into Networking event on November 4th. It was a pleasure spending time with all of you, and I truly appreciated the professionalism, curiosity, and maturity each of you brought to the conversation. You asked the right meaningful questions, listened intently, and demonstrated the kind of engagement that will benefit you well in every future opportunity. Your entire team should feel proud of the work you put into preparing and hosting this event. It was clear you as a team were intentional in your planning, and you effectively created an environment that felt welcoming, organized, and very much like a networking experience.”  ~ John A.
