LaunchBR is a MetroMorphosis initiative designed to accelerate small business growth by expanding access to capital, contracting opportunities, and capacity-building support. Focused on increasing business ownership in underinvested communities and among underrepresented populations, LaunchBR connects entrepreneurs to training, coaching, mentorship, and pathways to scale.

This form serves as the intake for LaunchBR programs, including the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF), Baton Rouge Procurement Opportunity Partnership (BRPOP), MOVEBR, and other ecosystem opportunities. All responses are confidential, and no single answer will disqualify participation.

For questions, contact the LaunchBR Team at launchbr@metromorphosis.net or darren@metromorphosis.net
