HOW IT WORKS
- The LAUNCH Accelerator selects 7 startups for each cohort.
- Over 16 weeks, the founders present to 8000+ investors and master growth strategies.
- The ideal stage for our Accelerator is pre-Series A with some traction
- We call this our "Goldilocks Zone”
- Generally speaking, this means:
1. Enterprise/marketplace startups: $2k+ in MRR with 10-20%+ growth month over month
2. Consumer products: 3k+ daily active users with 5%+ week over week growth
3. Deep-tech startups: an MVP or prototype and a strong technical team
HOW TO GET IN - WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
- The LAUNCH team selects founders who execute at a high level in markets that are important
- We look for world-class product design, traction, revenue, and technical execution.
- Said simply, people with skills and products that people love.
- We seek individuals who are deeply passionate and who possess a tremendous work ethic.
