Talk About Berks LaunchBox

“The value that the LaunchBox has brought to us is having so many more connections than we ever had previously.” –Ryan
“The Launchbox has given us a dedicated workspace, excellent connections, and the ability to grow our business within the Reading Community, which is something we primarily focus on. We want to start in Reading, help Reading grow, and be a part of the startup community inside our home.” – Tristan

“I started working with the LaunchBox in the beginning of the year and something that is really important that they brought to me is the ability to break out of my comfort zone. The first thing they helped me do was to attend a business conference in Philadelphia organized by a former Penn State student. It was a huge conference with entrepreneurs from California, down south, the east coast and I was there as a freshman! WOW!”
