Launch Accelerator
Description
The LAUNCH Accelerator is a hands-on, 14-week intensive program that helps early-stage startups accelerate growth, refine their product-market fit, and raise funding with targeted support and investor exposure. Run by the LAUNCH team (the same group behind This Week in Startups and Founder University), the program invests US $125,000 for ~7% equity and combines structured weekly sessions, mentorship from operators and investors, and opportunities to pitch to hundreds of top tier angels and venture firms. Founders also gain access to LAUNCH’s broad founder and investor network, hands-on pitch coaching, and optional in-person sessions in major U.S. cities while participating primarily virtually
Eligibility
The LAUNCH Accelerator is designed for startups that: - Are post-MVP and traction-oriented, with evidence of product usage, revenue, or measurable growth. - Fall into typical early venture stages (Pre-Series A), with metrics that show momentum (e.g., measurable MRR growth, user engagement, or technical validation). - Have a dedicated founder or core team ready to engage with an intensive, cohort-based program and weekly investor feedback. - Are ready to give up a small equity stake (~7%) in exchange for investment, coaching, and network support. - Founders earlier than MVP or with purely conceptual ideas are encouraged to explore Founder University or other pre-accelerator pathways first, then apply to LAUNCH when they have basic product validation
