LAUNCH, founded in 2010 by Jason Calacanis, operates at the intersection of Digital Media and Marketing. With the slogan "Supporting founders. Inspiring innovation.", LAUNCH aims to empower budding entrepreneurs and drive forward-thinking ideas.
The company is famed for orchestrating the largest startup conference in the world, the LAUNCH festival, alongside the widely recognized podcast, This Week In Startups. By facilitating these platforms, LAUNCH not only provides significant exposure but also fosters a collaborative environment for visionary founders.
A pivotal component of their strategy is the LAUNCH Incubator, which aids in nurturing approximately 40 promising founders yearly. Founders undergo an intensive 12-week accelerator that combines rigorous mentoring with an enjoyable learning experience, propelling many to make global impacts.
While headquartered in the United States, LAUNCH is globally focused, consistently seeking out innovative startups with potential to transform markets. Their commitment to investing millions of dollars annually positions them as a significant player within the startup ecosystem.
