Two Birmingham-based startups earned a combined $75,000 in funding at the Alabama Launchpad Cycle 2, 2022, Finale on Aug. 30. Nine finalists competed in the event, which included concept-stage and early-seed-stage components. Hosted by the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama (EDPA), the Cycle 2 competition was held at Huntsville’s HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology.

Ride Resorts won the concept-stage competition, claiming a $25,000 investment. Ride Resorts is a pay-to-ride mountain biking resort developer that partners with landowners — including Birmingham’s Red Mountain Park — to design and build world-class mountain biking experiences.
