Launch Demo Day: Summer Cohort 1
Launch is delighted to invite you to our Launch Students Accelerator May Demo Day Showcase, featuring presentations from 15 student venture teams. Join us in celebrating the growth and innovation of our student founders on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at Innovate Carolina Junction from 9 am to 12 pm ET.
Launch is running two student accelerator cohorts this summer, with Demo Day showcases taking place in both May and June. This event will feature ventures from our first cohort.
Over the course of the accelerator, students have worked alongside mentors, founders, and peers to refine their ventures, strengthen their business models, and prepare to communicate their ideas to a live audience. This event is an opportunity to hear their pitches firsthand, connect with emerging student entrepreneurs, provide mentorship and ecosystem support, and celebrate the accomplishments of the cohort alongside members of the local innovation community. Presentations will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m.
