Launch
Program Lead
Time to put a finished business in front of the world. From an IR pitch built to win investors over, to networking with the best operators on the ground — we offer a stage that does more than present. It closes deals.
Section 01 — IR Bootcamp
A three-stage drill — IR Deck design → 1:1 mentoring → pitch rehearsal — takes founders to demo-day-ready before they ever take the stage.
Design a storyline that puts investor-grade signals — market sizing, revenue model, growth strategy — at the center, then refine the deck with sharp data visualization and brand tone.
Sit down with VC and AC operators from Korea and abroad, get deep feedback on business model and financials, and tighten the business one detail at a time.
Use an AI pitch simulator and video feedback to rehearse the talk and Q&A under demo-day conditions, raising stage readiness before the real one.
Section 02 — Demo Day & Network
Founders pitch the business in person, in front of angels, VCs, and local partners. Co-hosted with Nigerian AC/VC and government agencies, our demo days don't stop at presentation — they connect to real investment rounds and signed deals.

Section 04 — Target Outcomes
The value Launch delivers is proven in numbers — capital raised, retention, and regional expansion are managed against designed targets.
Across demo days, follow-on rounds, and policy-linked matching funds, we design for 2M USD+ in capital raised during the program window.
Six months after Launch, the goal is for 65%+ of young founders to remain active and expanding their businesses.
From Nigeria as the anchor, we stand up a tech-exchange hub spanning all 15 ECOWAS countries — opening a gateway for Launch teams into the wider region.
