About us
Launch Loudoun, a program of Loudoun Economic Development, provides experiences and services for Loudoun entrepreneurs throughout the entire lifecycle of their small businesses. Find value in Day 1 and Day 1,001 via our large-scale events, targeted programs, partner advising, and personalized 1-on-1 services with industry specialists. We create an environment of success for businesses of all sizes and circumstances, targeting the core focus areas of entrepreneurial business growth: finance, legal, human resources/workforce, sales/marketing, and ownership/leadership. The Launch Loudoun program focuses on the three main stages of small business: Start, Scale, and Soar. Start businesses are only an idea on paper or have recently opened. Scale businesses have worked through the kinks and uncertainty of a startup and are ready to push a little further. Soar businesses are, not surprisingly, focused on growth above all other concerns. Entrepreneurs who lead businesses of all sizes, at all stages of development, and in all industries, encounter common issues that can stall or kill progress. No matter the stage of growth, Launch Loudoun is a trusted partner for Loudoun entrepreneurs. We are excited to utilize this program to launch the next #LoudounPossible success stories.
