Compete to win while receiving equity-free dev help for your startup

If you're a founder with a bold vision…

The 2026 CodeLaunch applications are officially open!

CodeLaunch is the only startup accelerator that gives founders FREE professional software development—without taking equity.

Finalists get paired with expert dev teams to build out their product, then pitch on the “venturetainment” stage in front of investors, VCs, and startup leaders at a high-energy pitch competition designed to generate real traction and opportunities for growth.

Upcoming 2026 Competition Deadlines

  • 🇺🇸 USA - Miami - due before Feb 1, 2026

  • 🇨🇦 Canada - Toronto - due before May 10, 2026

  • LATAM - Guadalajara - due before May 10, 2026

Apply even if you’re not ready!

We understand that exposing your startup before it’s ‘perfect’ or ‘ready’ can be frightening. But take it from us – there is no better time to take that leap of faith than now.

CodeLaunch specializes in supporting and accelerating Embryonic to Pre-Series A startups, so they are investment or market-ready.

We have a wealth of resources to help you get ahead of the game, including:

  • Why you should apply to CodeLaunch

  • How the process works

  • Official rules
