Various application deadlines as there are multiple CodeLaunch competitions throughout the year; competitions held in various locations
What do you get when you combine a seed accelerator competition, tech tradeshow, a startup conference, and a raucous networking event?
You get CodeLaunch!
CodeLaunch sponsors and partners put thousands of dollars in professional seed services behind the winners of its national seed accelerator competition. CodeLaunch has become a unique and critical amenity to pre-MVP startups.
At the core of CodeLaunch is a seed accelerator competition between individuals and groups who have software technology startup ideas.
CodeLaunch is the perfect opportunity for first-time startup founders, both technical and non-technical alike, as the startup competition costs $0 to apply and no equity is surrendered.
Usually applications due in September; held every October through December

The RK Mellon Foundation invites socially minded for-profit companies with bold ideas to compete for at least $1 million in Foundation investments in their Social-Impact Pitch Challenge. Winning companies will be selected by the Foundation, with advice from prominent regional and national advisors.
The pitch competition is part of the Foundation’s Social-Impact Investment program, or SII. Through SII, the Foundation invests in for-profit companies whose missions align with the Foundation’s philanthropic priorities. Unlike most pitch competitions, where the goal is to make money for investors, the Foundation’s primary goal is to generate positive social impact.
With its pitch competition, the Foundation is seeking to accelerate the program further still, to ensure that social-impact entrepreneurs, across the Pittsburgh region and beyond, are able to access the financial resources necessary to achieve scalable positive impact.
