LAUNCHPAD is a 12-day European Space Agency (ESA) BIC DK pre-incubation summer program for selected entrepreneurs to create moonshot startups using space to benefit the earth.
The goal of LAUNCHPAD is to accelerate the growth of new space tech startups to go into ESA BIC DK incubation after LAUNCHPAD and receive a free-of-charge package of business coaching, technical support, and cash incentives of 50.000 EUR during an incubation period of up to 2 years.
The LAUNCHPAD program structure is heavily influenced by the world-renowned 24 Step Disciplined Entrepreneurship approach, created by Bill Aulet, used at MIT Entrepreneurship and Delta-V.
The program is highly selective, and the selected participants are in for 12 faced-paced, long, intense, and demanding days. LAUNCHPAD is no summer camp. Our goal is to get the participants from idea to VC-ready in less than two weeks.
