Our Why

“By having conversations with people I’ve been able to do things without spending money. Launch1000 taught me how to make sure I’m not pouring money into something that’s going down the drain.”
ERIC STEVENS
FINE ART APPRAISAL
“I would have gone through a great deal of time and financial resources that frankly I can’t recoup. This accelerator taught me it’s possible to look at my venture and in an objective way and remove all the elements that would cause failure.”
Charles Silvestro
FORMER V.P. OF CORPORATE LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
“During the last 7 years of my corporate career I worked in Corporate Learning & Development for Mastercard. I oversaw Learning & Talent Development for +3,100 employees who worked in Marketing, Communications, and Product Development & Management. We taught and worked with vendors to teach design thinking, journey mapping, customer discovery, and other product development and management techniques that put the consumer front and center. The course you designed and led is by far one of the best I’ve seen to teach and lead others on the path of entrepreneurship. It was of great value to me, and I uncovered insights and techniques that will certainly help me be successful in my business.”
