This year, we’re introducing exciting new perks designed to help startup founders thrive in every aspect of CodeLaunch, but also independent of the CodeLaunch curation process. Each new resource was crafted to equip you with the tools to emerge victorious at the next CodeLaunch competition and ignite your startup’s growth like never before, even if you don’t make one of our stages. This is your guide, founders, so follow these steps and you will be positioned to succeed as a technology startup founder, close a meaningful raise when it’s time, and maybe even hoist a championship belt on a CodeLaunch stage in 2025.
Our Cohort Curriculum is Now Public
The first new addition to our process: we made our curriculum videos public. This used to be exclusive to our competing teams which made it into our cohorts, but it’s now open to everyone. This means any tech startup can prepare for, and even undertake our process at any time. What used to be homework assignments and challenges which were delivered with tight timelines are now accessible learning materials.
With this change, you can take our challenges at your own pace, so you can watch all the videos with your team and complete the tasks whenever it’s best for you. Our flexible approach allows you to complete our curriculum without the stress of rigid timelines. Then when you feel ready to apply, make sure to submit your work before the deadline. So, gather your team, familiarize yourselves with the material, and get a head start on your CodeLaunch journey by watching all five videos that make up our public curriculum now.
Community Office Hours with Our Founder
Are you a founder that has questions or challenges that startup founders face? Maybe you would like to ask an experienced pro about topics like raising money, team building, or digital product development? Check out our new Community Office Hours with Jason W. Taylor, the President and Founder of CodeLaunch. Every Monday at 4:30 PM CT, Jason now hosts “Office Hours” on our CodeLaunch Community Discord server, where startup founders can get advice on any challenge they may face.
No question will go unanswered, so you can get personalized guidance and insights from someone who has the inside scoop on all things CodeLaunch! This is a major hack to becoming a CodeLaunch winner, because you can get all the information you need to win and become the best startup competing in your round. In short, become an active member of our community and it puts you one step ahead. Make sure to follow our social media because although we will try to be consistently available at the designated 4:30PM CT on Mondays, occasionally we will make schedule change announcements required by the business obligations of building, growing, and executing CodeLaunch.
Listen and Learn from Key Podcast Episodes
To continue your preparation for CodeLaunch, we highly recommend tuning into our podcast episodes tailored towards cohort related topics. These episodes cover crucial subjects, helping you understand and complete homework tasks more effectively. You’ll also find episodes which include live PCL Drafts, giving you a clearer idea of what’s expected.
In several episodes, you’ll hear past finalists share their experiences, challenges, and tips for succeeding in CodeLaunch, which are packed with inspiration and practical advice for your journey.
