Testimonials
LAUNCH has been a fundamental part of SkillBank's growth over the last couple of years. The rigorous pitching process the program provides helped me define what investors actually want to see when they are hearing my story. Jacqui and the rest of the LAUNCH team were there when I needed them, and provided me the support to make sure I was making the right decisions. By the time we completed LAUNCH SkillBank's first round was oversubscribed by $400k and we received a valuation cap $3M over what we were originally expecting.
LAUNCH was the critical partner that got us networked in the Bay Area venture ecosystem. Jason is a force and once he backs you, doors open. Since LAUNCH we've rapidly grown ARR while raising multiple rounds of funding from top-tier VCs on competitive terms. I would highly suggest partnering with LAUNCH if you're interested in dominating the high-growth world of startups and becoming the category leader in your industry
The LAUNCH program was definitely designed for the serious Founder ready for hyper-growth and that next level funding in their startup journey. Jason is the best Angel in tech. His no-nonsense, love of start-ups, along with, clear and precise feedback about your company and growth allows you to quickly figure out your defining purpose and winning pitch. His network is years of relationship-building that you get access to instantaneously. The LAUNCH team is also amazing and always readily available to help with small to large issues. LAUNCH is definitely the REAL DEAL.
Being a part of the LAUNCH Accelerator gave us access to a huge network of investors, founders, and operators that we never would’ve met. We knew how to build our company, but through the program, we learned how to communicate that to investors and close our seed round.
LAUNCH fundamentally changed our business for the better. We went from a small team, growing revenue slowly and steadily, to a thriving and expanding startup. The experience of going through the LAUNCH accelerator was life-changing as a founder, and game-changing for our business.
Being from outside the Bay Area, LAUNCH gave us immediate access to the best of the best. We had 100+ portfolio companies actually leaning into us, helping us learn what mattered and how to raise serious money from some of the best VCs in SF. Jason and his team changed the way we built our business and connected us with founders and investors who actually pull you further, faster.
