*Two finalists from each event will advance to the World Championship on November 11th, 2026 in Dallas, Texas and compete for at least $50,000 USD. A total of $100,000 USD was deployed at the 2025 World Championship event.
The CodeLaunch 2026 USA competition features a special ‘Made for TV’ studio format. This year’s US event moves into a high-production broadcast studio to provide our finalists with a massive ‘Go-to-Market’ hack and unprecedented global visibility.
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.
