Launch Fund Nexus<\/strong><\/h1>

Supported and coordinated by the Launch Fund<\/a>, Launch Fund Nexus <\/strong>connects (1) startups<\/strong> with (2) students<\/strong> drawn from across those 170,000 enrolled at the 12 institutions and 3 regional higher education centers of the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø (ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø) across the State of ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø and (3) industry experts<\/strong>. It creates benefits for all three stakeholders while contributing to ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø’s long-term strategic vision for inclusive economic growth through the creation of supporting infrastructure assets, resources, and a diverse workforce that builds the strengths of ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø\u2019s economy.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Launch Fund Nexus features student-startup-industry trios, each working on a collaborative project that helps move a startup forward. <\/strong>Unlike a traditional internship, where students may contribute to various tasks, Nexus trios focus on a single, well-defined collaborative project.<\/p>

**This is just one way students can connect with startups and other partners across the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø. See related programs here<\/a>!**<\/h4>
