How do we select the founders of our future startups?
We invite teams of driven entrepreneurs to join our Founders Recruitment Process.
Co-founder teams work to develop a strategy for launching a new startup based on our pre-vetted ideas. Ultimately, one final team is selected to become the founders.
Apply as a Candidate
Your first step is to apply as a candidate through our website.
Our application opens in the early fall.
Pick a Co-Founder
We provide tools and events to help you find a co-founder.
Select an Idea
As a team, you and your co-founder will select one of our vetted startup ideas to pursue.
Your team will work to develop the strategy and vision for this future startup.
Recruitment Process
Over several weeks, your team will develop an early strategy and vision for the new company.
Teams create early marketing plans, GTM strategies, draft financials, and more.
Week to Week
Task instructions are made available to teams each week and the work period begins.
At the close of each phase, all created files and decks are submitted to Launch Factory for review.
Judging
We evaluate submissions based on several factors including the viability of their strategy and their overall quality of work.
The highest achieving teams move on to the next phase.
Time Commitment
The recruitment process is demanding but we’ve designed it to fit any schedule.
Each team is also given two, 24-hour late submission opportunities to accommodate schedule conflicts.
Rules and Regulations
All submissions throughout the process must be the sole work of the candidate teams.
Late submissions will not be accepted and any team found plagiarizing will be disqualified.
Additional details regarding dates, timelines, and recruitment process structure will be made available soon.
Ultimately, one final team will be selected to launch each new startup!
If your team is selected, you and your co-founder will become the new founders of whichever startup you chose to pursue in the recruitment process. Launch Factory provides the seed capital, advisors, and incubation tools you’ll need to hit the ground running as you start your new company.
