Alumni
Learn. Launch. Give back.
Launch League doesn't end at Awards Night. The point was never just the competition — it's the business you build afterwards, and the founders you help after that.

- Summer CompanyCheck whether you may be ready for Ontario's Summer Company program.
Help the next founders
Give back
The founders who were helped become the people who help. Alumni make some of the best judges, advisors and speakers — because they remember exactly what it was like.

- Judging and advising are for alumni 18 and over, and follow the same review and code of conduct as every other volunteer.
- You can't judge a competition year or category you've entered, or entries from people you know, work with or are related to. Declare it and we'll reassign.
- Alumni under 18 can share their story at events or in a spotlight with a parent or guardian's permission.
- Anyone offering a job or placement does it through Launch League, follows Ontario employment standards and youth-safety rules, and never receives participant contact details from us.
Coming later
Alumni spotlights
The first season is underway, so there are no alumni stories to tell yet. When there are, they'll be here — shared with permission, never invented.
