LAUNCH invests $125K for 7% equity in each company it accepts. The programme runs fourteen weeks and selects only seven companies per cohort, built around weekly pitch sessions with typically eight to ten seasoned investors. Unlike most accelerators on this list, LAUNCH gates on traction rather than stage: the apply page names specific metric thresholds by company type. LAUNCH's own pages publish no cohort dates or application deadline.
