Who we are

Founded by Jason Calacanis. LAUNCH is on a mission to support founders and inspire innovation. Our small team of rebels put on the largest startup conference in the world, the LAUNCH festival, the podcast This Week In Startups and we run the LAUNCH Incubator. We invest millions of dollars into 40 promising founders a year, some of which go on to change the world. Most of these founders spend 12 weeks in our very intense -- but fabulously fun -- accelerator.

Funding Requirements

We accelerate founders that have a product in market, with traction and revenue. We do not invest in business plans, decks, or ideas -- ever. Occasionally we will accept a wildcard who has an MVP with only little traction.

Value add

We accelerate early-stage startups with hands-on pitch coaching, investor introductions, media exposure, growth-focused mentorship, and a high-caliber founder network.
