So, what differentiates the Launch &amp; Learn Lab's training programs from other entrepreneurial training program offerings throughout the Southeast?<ul><li>A "HEAVY" focus upon the process of customer/user DISCOVERY, DEVELOPMENT, tracking the EXPERIENCES rather than focusing upon the particulars of writing a masters thesis like document better know as a business plan.</li><li>Training sessions are led by "full-time"- still in the game of capitalism - entrepreneurs.</li><li>Learn how to NOT continuously have to travel and operate along the proverbial biz pitch competition circuit BUT rather to engage in the ongoing pursuit of credit card wielding/cashing holding/check writing/cryptocurrency possessing "PAYING CUSTOMERS" and founders experiencing investors pursuing their startup/firm not the other way around.</li><li>For entrepreneurs who DO DESIRE to participate in the <a href="https://harbert.auburn.edu/events/tiger-cage/index.html" title="https://harbert.auburn.edu/events/tiger-cage/index.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">AU Tiger Cage Pitch Competition</a>, <a href="https://alabamalaunchpad.com/" title="https://alabamalaunchpad.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alabama Launchpad</a> like competitions or pitching to angel/venture investment groups, our training framework works well as a solid preparatory platform.</li></ul>

Our current posture is that NO CURRENT/PROSPECTIVE ENTREPRENEUR should have to pay for training that empowers them to be more successful, generate more revenue, employ more people, etc but that costs associated with the training should be passed along and shouldered by parties and organizations who benefit from the additional tax revenue, employed citizenry and the additional economic development prosperity of the geographic region.
