Startup and Innovation CoLab powered by Blackstone LaunchPad coaches and mentors founders, helping them pull ideas out of their heads and put them into the real world.
Entrepreneurs who possess the strong foundation gained by working with The CoLab powered by Blackstone LaunchPad are better equipped than the average founder. They know and understand their market on a deeper level; they know what makes their product or business stand out from the rest; and most importantly, they know they are serving a need or solving a problem.
Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from the people behind successful ventures who worked with The CoLab to get their businesses up and running.

I am from New York City. I love STEM research and investing in real estate.
Created in 2023, Safe and Sound is a simple bracelet for people to wear when they feel unsafe. The bracelet will allow them to reach out to family or friends for help when they are unable to do so.
We are looking for someone that can offer mentorship.
Jacob Rhinehart
I am from Buffalo, NY. I am a big chicken wing guy, Bills fan, and passionate about the growth of WNY. Over this last semester, I have been able to learn about different ventures and learning strategies that my peers take when getting into the startup ecosystem. This next semester, I plan on taking this knowledge and begin to execute on my own ideas. I can’t wait to be able to execute, grow, and most importantly share what I’ve learned with the next people at The CoLab.
