LAUNCH
Launch is our open call for missional builders. Join us in Nashville, Aug 26–28. Apps close July 1.
WHAT IS LAUNCH?
Launch is an accelerator in 3 days. Most visions never become ventures. Launch helps early-stage builders with a Kingdom dream, calling, or project. You’ll get frameworks, great mentors, peer community, and a clear path forward.
FIND YOUR PEOPLE
50+ builders from across the country. Mentors who've built what you're trying to build. Relationships that outlast the three days.
SHARPEN YOUR VENTURE
Our core design frameworks, mentor feedback, and peer engagement. Walk out with a design clear enough to explain, honest enough to test, and durable enough to fund
GET TRACTION
Every builder leaves with a 90-day action plan, and have the option to apply for our longer-term programs. Launch gives you an early advantage as you build.
LAUNCH TALKS
We’ve distilled our best frameworks into key talks that help you build with clarity.
THE CALL
Why you? You'll articulate the formative story behind your venture and why this calling belongs to you and not someone else.
THE FRONTIER
What's missing? You leave knowing who you're for, what's broken, and why it's persisted, so your venture addresses the deeper problem.
THE VENTURE
What are you building? You'll define the mission, purpose, and identity at the core of your venture and the vision that drives what you're building.
THE MODEL
How does it work? You leave with a clear picture of your core operating model, what it produces, and how it sustains itself.
THE STORY
Why should someone care? You'll develop a clear narrative that moves donors, partners, and the people you're trying to reach.
THE IMPACT
What changes if this works? You leave with a clear vision of the change you're after and the markers that will prove it's actually happening.
FOR THE BUILDERS.
Launch is for builders at the beginning. All you need is a Kingdom vision and a willingness to build, whether you're planting a church, founding a ministry, leading a movement, or starting a business. Every builder here is early.
