Founded by Jason Calacanis. LAUNCH is on a mission to support founders and inspire innovation. Our small team of rebels put on the largest startup conference in the world, the LAUNCH festival, the podcast This Week In Startups and we run the LAUNCH Incubator. We invest millions of dollars into 40 promising founders a year, some of which go on to change the world. Most of these founders spend 12 weeks in our very intense -- but fabulously fun -- accelerator.

Launched in 2016, BeerGuys Promotions Inc. specializes in marketing & promotions for Calgary's craft brewing industry. Our flagship event, the annual Calgary Beer Week festival, began in 2017 with the goal of raising awareness for local businesses & charities in need. Since then, YYCBeerWeek has welcomed a combined 33,000+ attendees, raised nearly $90,000 for local charities, and generated over $447,000 in consumer spending for local businesses. Most recently, BeerGuys launched the BeerGuys Craft Club in December 2018, to drive consumer awareness for local businesses, while supporting local organizations in need. The BeerGuys Craft Club has since grown to hundreds of members in size, with a portion of membership dues donated to local charity partners each month.
