CODELAUNCH ISFOR STARTUPS

CodeLaunch is the PERFECT startup accelerator competition for both first-time founders and experienced serial entrepreneurs. Thanks in part to our sponsors and partners, startups can apply to CodeLaunch for FREE and aren’t required to surrender ANY equity. All Finalists are matched with a professional software development team sponsor which builds a POC, Minimally Viable Product (in some cases), or advances existing product roadmaps. Finalists are then showcased on stage at the finale event to an audience of angel investors, VCs, entrepreneurs, and local ecosystem leaders. Learn more about how CodeLaunch is helping accelerate the startup community.
