Thinking about applying to a startup accelerator?

CodeLaunch is the only startup accelerator in the world that provides founders with FREE professional software development to fast-track their digital product—without taking equity.

Here’s your behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you take the leap — and how a last-minute decision turned this Canadian startup into global champions.

🚀 CodeLaunch is not your typical accelerator.
We don’t take equity. We don’t charge fees.
Instead, we pair tech startups with professional dev teams powered by @ImprovingEnterprises to build actual products, then put them on stage in front of investors, and a global startup audience.

Based in Toronto, @MateriaBioworks is a #climatetech startup helping R&D teams bring sustainable materials to market faster. In this exclusive video testimonial, Materia's co-founder Raj Manocha shares how a random Reddit post, discovered just hours before the deadline, led to a wild ride from stealth mode… to winning CodeLaunch Canada… and eventually, wining the 2024 CodeLaunch World Championship in Dallas.

Still on the fence? Watch this full founder interview to learn:
✅ How a Reddit post led to Materia Bioworks applying just hours before the deadline
✅ What actually happens during the professional hackathon
✅ How CodeLaunch helped transform Materia's MVP into a scalable product
✅ What $135K+ in in-kind services and a $25K cash investment did for their traction
✅ Why they say every founder in Canada should apply — even if you think you’re not “ready”
