The Launch Pad™ At LTB: What’s The Hype All About?

It’s the highlight of the event. The show you’ve been waiting for. And you don’t want to miss it. LTB 2013 is proud to present The Launch Pad™.

The Launch Pad™ will be led by five wealthy investors who are looking to invest in that next big business idea.

Twelve days to fine tune their sales pitch. And just one shot to obtain serious funding from this group of wealthy investors.

You’ll have front row seats to watch budding entrepreneurs – ordinary people like you – come forward and pitch their ideas and dreams. The lights are dimmed. The stage is set. Five investors. Each ready to put down at least $100,000 on the table per pitch. Ready to be invested. Can the entrepreneurs convince the investors to finance their dreams?
