CodeLaunch is a startup accelerator event that pairs early-stage tech startups with professional software development teams to accelerate their trajectory toward MVP, seed funding, and beyond.
CodeLaunch is the perfect opportunity for first-time startup founders, both technical and non-technical alike, as the startup competition costs $0 to apply and no equity is surrendered.
After establishing a history of successfully accelerating startups as an annual event in North Texas (2012-2020), CodeLaunch expanded to multiple events per year beginning in 2021. Each event will be hosted in a market with an Improving consulting office.
CodeLaunch Startup Competition is produced by Improving and is driven by the principles of Conscious Capitalism.
CodeLaunch is a startup event which exemplifies Improving’s core value alignment with Conscious Capitalism.
CodeLaunch provides seed services that are invaluable to early-stage startups. Sponsors and partners help guide winning startup ventures down the path of success while minimizing their financial risk.
Here’s why CodeLaunch is a remarkable opportunity:
