Third-year UVA student Chase Rosen and his team turned their entrepreneurial experience into an AI-powered platform to help others launch businesses – an idea that earned them fourth place and $100,000 in the Google-sponsored Build with Gemini XPRIZE competition.

Rosen’s team emerged from more than 26,000 registered builders worldwide who took on the challenge of creating a revenue-generating, AI-powered business in 90 days. Judges considered how well each business could succeed, how effectively it used AI and the impact it could have, then chose five finalists.

Rosen, an economics and applied statistics major, and his teammates created LaunchBridge to simplify the process of starting a business. The AI platform helps entrepreneurs establish a limited liability company, or LLC; obtain a federal employer identification number; build a website; and set up payments – all in less than 72 hours.

Rosen presented LaunchBridge at Moonshots LIVE in Los Angeles before a panel that included Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest; Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril Industries; Mark Pincus, founder of Zynga; and Logan Kilpatrick of Google DeepMind.

Rosen said they plan to invest the winnings in their company and develop a state-by-state expansion plan. https://uvatoday.me/47Kutdy
