Bookclubs, a social network and app for readers that makes it easy to start, manage, and join a book club, was named the 2023 winner of Gorham Savings Bank’s annual LaunchPad small business competition and earned its corresponding $50,000 no-strings-attached grant. The company was chosen from among five finalists—all innovative, local entrepreneurs—who pitched Tuesday evening to an independent panel of judges, as well as a live audience of over 200 family, friends, and supporters at the University of New England’s Innovation Hall in Portland.
