About the LAUNCH programme

The LAUNCH programme is designed to support entrepreneurs at the prototyping stage. It includes masterclasses, workshops with experts and experienced entrepreneurs, coaching, access to a community of peers and resources aimed at refining prototypes, working on the entrepreneurial approach and preparing for market entry.

The programme is open to ESCP students and alumni, as well as entrepreneurs from partner institutions, upon selection.

Who can participate in the programme?

❍ This programme is for those who are starting to prototype or test their solution with their first users and who want to join a cohort of entrepreneurs, with personalised and collective support.

❍ If you are still in the exploration phase and not ready yet to commitment in a programme to work on your idea, check out our series of EXPLORE events, open to all, to discover the entrepreneurial ecosystem and learn from the experiences of seasoned and inspiring entrepreneurs.

❍ If you are just starting your project (need to validate your idea), check out the START programme.

❍ If you are in the early sales phase, visit the SEED programme page.

The online sessions are held in English from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

IMPORTANT: Participants agree to follow the entire programme and must sign a commitment charter.

  • Privileged access to the ESCP Blue Factory ecosystem

This programme is for you if:

"The programme was the perfect opportunity for us to bounce ideas off each other and move our project forward. Through workshops and co-development sessions, we were able to get feedback from expert speakers on various topics, as well as from other entrepreneurs in the programme.
This helped us realise that we were spreading ourselves too thin, so we decided to put our consulting business on hold to focus on what's essential for Blutopia, our media outlet."

— Malaury Morin & Julien Gerbet, founders of Blutopia
