  • IPF's Inaugural Indigenous Launchpad Showcase

    The Indigenous Prosperity Foundation is proud to share the video from our inaugural Indigenous Launchpad Showcase. Held during the NACCA Indigenous Prosperity Forum on May 6, 2026, the Showcase brought together five Indigenous youth entrepreneurs from the first Launchpad cohort to present their businesses, share their vision, and connect with supporters, partners, mentors, and community leaders.

    The room buzzed with excitement as each founder stepped forward to share their passion, goals, and the businesses they are building, a true reflection of Launchpad’s mission to build confidence, strengthen ideas, and propel Indigenous youth entrepreneurs toward the next stage of growth with community behind them.
