Über uns
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.

Investment Spotlight - Meet HeyHire, a tool that allows businesses and local applicants to find and communicate with each other on one platform. 🔎 How it works: - Hiring managers post and share jobs through the app’s local map, social media, and QR codes. - Local job seekers search the map for jobs based on their daily commute. Passersby can find jobs by scanning QR codes displayed on the businesses’ windows or tables. - Managers communicate through the app to set up interviews, which the job seeker receives as an SMS. Co-founders and brothers Daniel Sakhai and Benjamin Sakhai joined the LAUNCH Accelerator’s 26th cohort, where we invested $100K. LAUNCH helps builder founders hit growth and fundraising milestones.

Building Founder Fridays Community at LAUNCH | Accelerating Scale-Up Success at Growth Catalyst | Founder of Cobra
Had a great time with the #FounderFridays virtual crew! 💻 This month's small group of regular attendees had an honest conversation about what they hope to gain from the Founder Fridays community. A common theme emerged: accountability. So, we each set goals to achieve over the next month, and I took notes to follow up at our next virtual meetup on September 6th. If you can't tell by the big grin on my face, I really love getting to connect with founders 🙂 LAUNCH This Week in Startups Jason Calacanis Lida Liberopoulou Alfonso Guerra

Another great group for Founder Fridays in Philadelphia! Great discussions on our challenges and how we can solve them. Had some great founders come out who are building some new and exciting companies. Trish Erwin-Golderer Founder of Little One Nutrition Co. a Mom-founded company, developing the first domestically produced Goat Milk Infant Formula for babies with sensitive tummies. John Tokarowski Founder of AIlocations Inc. Allocations streamlines the new issue process for bond investors, automating tedious tasks and unlocking time for the most impactful work. Shawn Myers Co-Founder of Precise Builder, a construction tool for small to mid-size contractors that brings accuracy to estimating, visualizes live job costs, and provides all essential software tools in one place. Already looking forward to meeting again next month with my great co-host Scott Catron! Thank you Fitler Club for the Space!
