Emerald Partners Selected to Participate in Blackstone LaunchPad powered by Techstars Summer Startup Fellowship

Emerald Partners is one of 50 student entrepreneurs that will receive a $5,000 grant to focus for 8 weeks on advancing their student startup
June 2020 - Emerald Partners, a halal real estate investment company, has been selected to participate in the LaunchPad Summer Startup Fellowship, during which college students from the U.S. and Ireland will be provided additional opportunity to validate their strategies and advance their businesses. During the program, student fellows will participate in coaching sessions with LaunchPad Campus Directors as well as mentoring from Blackstone Campus Ambassadors and Techstars Entrepreneurs and Advisors. Students will also have the opportunity to hear first-hand from entrepreneurs like Allbirds Co-Founder Tim Brown, Techstars CEO and Co-Founder David Brown, CareMessage Co-Founder Cecilia Corral, and SparkCharge Co-Founder (and LaunchPad Alum) Josh Aviv during the LaunchPad Lessons Learned speaker series.
“At a time of unprecedented challenge for college students and recent graduates, entrepreneurship will be a key component of the solution for young entrepreneurs and their local communities,” said Amy Stursberg, Executive Director of the Blackstone Charitable Foundation. “By applying the resources and network of LaunchPad to the energy and ingenuity of these young people, the industry-transforming startups of tomorrow are being built today by LaunchPad Fellows.”
Students that applied to the LaunchPad Summer Startup Fellowship this summer operate startups in a wide range of industries, but like Emerald Partners, a real estate investment company, many student startups operate in Healthcare, Education, and Business Services each of which represents +5% of Fellowship applicants. The LaunchPad Summer Startup Fellowship will create a collaborative network of student entrepreneurs working on ideas in the same and different industries from campuses across the country and globe. 
“During these challenging times, we face many obstacles in growing our company especially during the COVID-19 crisis,” said Ishmam Ahmed, CEO of Emerald Partners. “By applying the resources and network found in this fellowship, we hope to overcome our challenges and thrive.”
In addition to coaching and mentorship from LaunchPad Campus Directors and Blackstone Campus Ambassadors throughout the 8 weeks, students will also get the chance to participate in a Techstars Mentor Week. The LaunchPad Student Startup Fellowship will conclude July 31, 2020.
