''Blackstone LaunchPad'' has a goal to engage at least 10% of each partner campuses student population to ensure high participation in the organization. The organization also strives to well-position itself in each of its partnership campuses to provide the most benefit to the each university from a wholesome perspective.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">As of October 17, 2017, ''Blackstone LaunchPad'' formed a new strategic partnership with TechStars to further assist entreprenuers with reaching their goals. The new partnership is called the ''Blackstone LaunchPad TechStars Training Camp ''that will support top performing Blackstone LaunchPad ventures. More information about the new partnership can be found below:</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">''Blackstone LaunchPad'' is a unique resource for Universities because very few campus incubators are run by external resources. Typically, these incubators are somewhat limited to an alumni network and the resources they have to offer, where as ''Blackstone LaunchPad'' has a very diverse collection of Entrepreneurial Masters to educate, coach, and connect students with the rest of the entrepreneurial world. ''LaunchPad'' offers the networking and resources that come with being a leading global venture capital firm.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">One huge advantage to using ''Blackstone Launchpad'' as a resourse rather than one's university incubator is that the risk of a technology transfer, or the act of universities providing campus resources to students with the intentions of claiming ownership to intellectual property designed by students, is eliminated. </span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Blackstone also has a number of organizational grants, funding the growth of entrepreneurship across the country. Many of these organizations either promote entrepreneurial action, provide funding and support for existing entrepreneurs, or educate students about entrepreneurship. </span></span>
