PODCAST
Logistics is responsible for running TigerLaunch’s six regional competitions (Singapore, London, Paris, NYC, Chicago, and LA ) while coordinating with regional partners, reaching out to potential judges and speakers and keeping TL operating smoothly.
Partnerships fundraises for TigerLaunch and provides the "fuel" — or funding, awards, travel, food, etc. — it needs to run the world's best and largest student-run pitch competition. As a bold, growth-oriented team that seeks to be at the forefront of student fundraising and entrepreneurship, Partnerships is always looking to make connections and bring leaders together in the spirit of collaboration.
Branding manages TigerLaunch's presence across all social media platforms, outreach for its collegiate entrepreneurship competitions, and designs.
TigerLaunch launched its podcast TigerVentures, Unfiltered, in 2020, featuring conversations with the most exceptional founders, entrepreneurs, and investors 🚀💡 Check out the first two seasons here

Since we work with all students, a lot of the TigerLaunch teams who advance to the Regional and Final stages are looking to work on their venture full-time post graduation.
TigerLaunch is working to make that leap of faith possible for them, by providing mentorship and equity free prize money. For the last 6 years, we've gotten a team into YC every year, and more recently, a lot of our teams have been getting into Techstars.
