Form 990, Part 1, Line 1 - Significant Activities
“FY 2017 represented the first full year of program activities for LaunchBio, Inc., which began monthly educational events for early stage life sciences entrepreneurs in San Diego and created an operations plan for similar educational programs in Durham, North Carolina, with a planned January 2108 start date. LaunchBio also evaluated expansion opportunities in additional markets as the organization grows. The San Diego educational programs were funded in part by a $25,000 competitive economic development grant from the City of San Diego. LaunchBio initiated monthly "lunch and learns" in August on topics such as effective fundraising, communications skills, and commercialization of technology. LaunchBio also formed a partnership with the San Diego Unified School District to offer a week-long career immersion program for students at Clairemont High School and participated in the Life Sciences Summer Institute internship program run by the San Diego Workforce Partnership. LaunchBio secured multi-year sponsorship pledges and individual donations exceeding $700,000 which, including the grant funding, resulted in a nearly 3-fold increase in contributions from the previous fiscal year. The majority of the sponsorships came from North Carolina-based companies in anticipation of educational programs to be held in 2018 at the newly renovated Chesterfield Building in downtown Durham. LaunchBio established a website (www.launchbio.org), social media program, monthly email newsletter, and regular outreach to nonprofit, academic and economic development organizations in San Diego and North Carolina to coordinate activities in support of life science and biotechnology entrepreneurs.”

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 5 | FY 2017 represented the first full year of program activities for LaunchBio, Inc., which began monthly educational events for early stage life sciences entrepreneurs in San Diego and created an operations plan for similar educational programs in Durham, North Carolina, with a planned January 2108 start date. LaunchBio also evaluated expansion opportunities in additional markets as the organization grows. The San Diego educational programs were funded in part by a $25,000 competitive economic development grant from the City of San Diego. LaunchBio initiated monthly "lunch and learns" in August on topics such as effective fundraising, communications skills, and commercialization of technology. LaunchBio also formed a partnership with the San Diego Unified School District to offer a week-long career immersion program for students at Clairemont High School and participated in the Life Sciences Summer Institute internship program run by the San Diego Workforce Partnership. LaunchBio secured multi-year sponsorship pledges and individual donations exceeding $700,000 which, including the grant funding, resulted in a nearly 3-fold increase in contributions from the previous fiscal year. The majority of the sponsorships came from North Carolina-based companies in anticipation of educational programs to be held in 2018 at the newly renovated Chesterfield Building in downtown Durham. LaunchBio established a website (www.launchbio.org), social media program, monthly email newsletter, and regular outreach to nonprofit, academic and economic development organizations in San Diego and North Carolina to coordinate activities in support of life science and biotechnology entrepreneurs. |
