Entrepreneur Launch Pad’s History and Purpose
Entrepreneur Launch Pad began in 2008 with a professional networking group in Centerville, UT. The group’s objective is to provide a “hands on” approach to helping each other build successful businesses. Entrepreneur Launch Pad (ELP) now provides a forum in six locations in Northern Utah.
At these weekly meetings they can collaborate on business ideas, give instructive feedback on business presentations, listen to and discuss business topics, and make important networking contacts to help them grow their business.
6 Meeting Sites
The 6 meeting sites in Utah include: Brigham City, Kaysville, Ogden, Orem, Park City, and Sandy. ELP is a non-profit business, providing no cost services to entrepreneurs, whether first time, current, or repeat.

Service and Learning
Entrepreneur Launch Pad strives to advance both the science and practice of entrepreneurship so as to stimulate positive economic growth and development through new company formation, technology, and improved competitive performance of entrepreneurial ventures.
ELP encourages and promotes service to other organizations. Entrepreneurs help others who need their expertise inside and outside of meetings. Typically, these individuals do not have the resources to start a company, but have an interest in learning all they can to better their financial situation. ELP strives to create:
- Learning and teaching opportunities
- Improved knowledge and experience of entrepreneurs and college students interested in entrepreneurship.
- Capitalization of emerging trends and new technologies through hands –on workshops
ELP’s objective is to help all entrepreneurs, of every level, and encourage exchange of helpful resources between entrepreneurs, educational institutions, business, and government agencies that support similar programs that provide benefits to entrepreneurs. ELP invites service providers that provide services to entrepreneurs to join us at our meetings to share, without remuneration, their expertise to budding entrepreneurs during our business building sessions. These providers can share their services when introducing themselves prior to our networking period.
