= <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Distinct Differences From Other Offerings</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-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">One of the unique opportunities that the organization provides entrepreneurs is a 1-on-1 coaching model that begins with peer-to-peer and executive director or program director mentorship. As the entreprenuer's business model makes more traction, subject matter experts and other professionals are contacted to assist with mentoring.</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>
