Overview of the Launch Academy program:

Launch is Western Canada’s leading entrepreneurship facility that helps international and Canadian founders build their businesses through education, mentorship, lean metrics and networking opportunities in North America. By bringing together a density of high-quality entrepreneurs, Launch has established an environment where ideas are vetted, business models are tested and successes are celebrated. Founded in 2012 on the values of innovation, opportunities and accountability, Launch functions as a soft landing pad for startup founders and continues to address the lack of startup leadership and resources affecting entrepreneurs. Launch aims to continue building a vibrant startup ecosystem and a prosperous economy where new jobs are created and new markets are discovered.
