Improving Dallas and Code Authority are proud to host CodeLaunch on November 17th, 2021.

For our first time visitors, CodeLaunch is a unique take on the traditional startup competition as we take pre-MVP concepts and transform those into functional working products through our professional hackathon model. We also partner with dozens of local businesses who donate invaluable seed services outside of product development, such as legal, staffing, marketing, accounting, and more.

CodeLaunch is the perfect opportunity for first-time founders and new concepts as it costs $0 to apply and 0% equity is surrendered for receiving seed services. Our events are also the perfect chance to network with angel investors and venture capitalists. We don’t just hand out prize money – we help build competent businesses.
