Impact
What Ontario's next founders are actually building.
Entries are only the start. Launch League measures businesses launched, customers earned and skills built — and only publishes numbers we can stand behind.
How we count.
Numbers on this page come straight from Launch League's records. Counts about young people only appear once there are at least five, so no one can be identified. Milestones are labelled as recorded (the platform saw it happen) or self-reported(a founder told us). Places in conversation with us are shown as that — never as confirmed partners. If a number isn't here, we don't have a verified figure for it yet.
Out in the world
Businesses launched
The first season's founders are building now. First sales, customers and launches will appear here as founders record them in their Launch Sprint.
Real communities. Real opportunity.
Across Ontario
The communities Launch League intends to reach — some already taking part, the rest places where the conversation has started. Every one of them is somewhere a young person should be able to learn, build and pitch an idea of their own.

Launch League
Students. Ideas.
Stronger communities.
Big ideas happen everywhere
13 communities
For schoolsThese are communities Launch League intends to be in. Some are already taking part; others are places the conversation has started, and saying so is more honest than implying every pin is a running program. We name the community, not the school.
Same mission. More communities.
Bring Launch League to your community.
A school, a board or a whole region — it costs nothing to take part, and we do the heavy lifting.

- Prize money committed by sponsors
- $3,000
A target, raised from sponsors award by award. Not money in hand. Every community that joins adds its own awards on top of the province-wide slate, so the prize pool grows with the map rather than sitting at one fixed number.
Across 2 sponsored awards (province-wide, regional and community)
