About CodeLaunch

CodeLaunch is a startup accelerator event that pairs early-stage tech startups with professional software development teams to accelerate their trajectory toward MVP, seed funding, and beyond.

CodeLaunch is the perfect opportunity for first-time startup founders, both technical and non-technical alike, as the startup competition costs $0 to apply and no equity is surrendered.

After establishing a history of successfully accelerating startups as an annual event in North Texas (2012-2020), CodeLaunch expanded to multiple events per year beginning in 2021. Each event will be hosted in a market with an Improving consulting office.

CodeLaunch Startup Competition is produced by Improving and is driven by the principles of Conscious Capitalism.

WHY SHOULD STARTUPS APPLY TO CODELAUNCH?

CodeLaunch is a startup event which exemplifies Improving’s core value alignment with Conscious Capitalism.

CodeLaunch provides seed services that are invaluable to early-stage startups. Sponsors and partners help guide winning startup ventures down the path of success while minimizing their financial risk.

Here’s why CodeLaunch is a remarkable opportunity:

  • Finalists receive free product development from professional dev teams.
  • Winners receive additional services from sponsors.
  • $0 to apply and 0% equity surrendered.
  • You’ll get a TV production quality edit of your pitch if you become a finalist.
  • There are too many additional benefits to list here so dive into more details here.

“What I love about CodeLaunch is how accessible Jason, Raheel and their team are. Their superpower is leveling up early-stage startups to present on stage in front of an electric audience of 1,000 people or more. Without their coaching, our pitch would not connect as solidly as it does now.”
