Background
LAUNCH is accepting companies for Cohort 37 beginning September 2026. The current program offers $125,000 and 14 weeks of investor-intensive sessions to a small 7-12 company cohort, but its current instrument and ownership are not public.
How the application really works
Apply through LAUNCH's unified founder funding form. The investment team screens for accelerator and other funding pathways.
Tips
- Read the cited current official page before applying because program dates and terms are volatile.
- State fit with the documented stage, geography, and attendance model; do not rely on an aggregator's old terms.
- Ask for the complete investment, fee, and follow-on documents when the public page does not publish them.
Watch out for
- $125k current accelerator check; instrument, valuation, ownership and rights are not publicly specified.
- The current accelerator page publishes $125k and 14 weeks but not a standard ownership percentage. Older 7% claims were not repeated.
Track record
- LAUNCH reports backing more than 1,000 companies and names Uber, Robinhood and Calm among investments; this is platform-wide, not accelerator-only.
Small cohort selected through application, screening and investor-team diligence; acceptance rate not published.
