Please join us in welcoming David Conti as the new Director of Launch Fayette! 🎉

David steps in as our founding Director, Steve Justice, retires at the end of June. Steve built Launch Fayette—Fayette County's community business incubator—from the ground up, and we're deeply grateful for his vision and leadership.

David is a familiar face here, having served as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence and instructor in our business classes. He brings more than 20 years in digital strategy, marketing, and technology, including founding three startups and, most recently, serving as VP of Growth & Development at the Fayette Chamber of Commerce. His passion is helping founders validate their market, find product-market fit, and build lasting traction.

In his words: "Too many aspiring entrepreneurs never move beyond the idea stage. Launch Fayette exists to change that."
