Welcome to Launch Academy

Launch Academy is Western Canada's leading tech incubator and accelerator. Since 2012, launch has helped incubate more than 6,000 entrepreneurs, of which 300 have grown their startups to seed in Series A and raised over 2.5 billion in funding At Launch. We primarily work with companies in emerging tech sectors like artificial intelligence and machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, blockchain, ag, tech, health tech, data science, quantum computing, fintech, CyberSecurity, Security and SaaS. Launch is a non profit organization. We don't take equity in any of our companies, rather we charge a service fee for our programming. We've developed two leading programs to help tech companies accelerate their growth. Our MAPLE program helps international founders and their companies land in Canada and further advance operations within North America, while our launchpad program connects companies with mentors, investors and fellow founders. As a part of both the Maple and Launchpad programs, we have a lineup of year round programming, both virtual and in person, and includes networking events, CXO dinners, investor showcases and matchmaking, pitch practices, demo days and more. We're currently accepting applications for our next cohort of the MAPLE program. Launchpad applications are open year round. For more information About Maple and LaunchPad, visit LaunchAcademy CA.
