A Management Capstone team in the EMERGE@Simpson program is proceeding to "soft launch" the Maple Tree Marketplace. The online portal can be seen at www.mapletreemarketplace.org.
The Marketplace will be an online store to help student ventures more easily reach customers. A second service providing on-campus video monitor/playlist sponsorships will launch later in March. EMERGE@Simpson venture teams, student spotlights, and other on-campus activities will be sponsored by area businesses on the platform. Valeria Gonzales is serving as the fledging student-led organization's startup leader as her Simpson internship at LaunchPad65. The platform is designed to increase participation in the EMERGE@Simpson program by providing active opportunities to engage the entire campus and Indianola business community. Once fully operational, advertising revenue should provide paid internships for student leadership positions such as a CEO, CFO, CTO, and CMO. The Marketplace also provides a strategic opportunity for the Foundation's Carver Connections to engage the DSM corporate market as a sponsorship option to recruit students.
