For the past month that’s been happening all over the Blackstone LaunchPad powered by Techstars network. Students and recent alumni of these schools and programs - who themselves are dealing with dramatic shifts to the traditional college and young professional experience - are stepping up, starting businesses, and offering solutions to the problems associated COVID19. Here are just a few of these student startup stories…
