That’s a wrap on our 1st Rams to Riches of 2025! Over the past two weeks, Launch Chapel Hill had the privilege of hosting an exceptional group of student founders in our Rams to Riches Startup Accelerator. They have been inspiring, and I can not wait to see how their ideas will grow next year! Launch Chapel Hill is incredibly proud of everything they accomplished, and we are equally grateful to the mentors, speakers, and community members who showed up to challenge, support, and guide these student entrepreneurs. A heartfelt thank you to: Dedric C., Patrick Kastian, Kenyetta Hall, MBA, CSM, CSPO , Michael Baiardi, Rachel Mintel & Chris Morrison, Christopher Rogers, Sunanda Dharmarajan PharmD, BCMAS, RPh, Steve Beisser, Michael Marsack, John Cambier, and Ashish Sagrolikar. your insight, encouragement, and generosity helped create an unforgettable experience.
