Launch Days

About

There’s an entrepreneur in you — and ASU Launch Days is here to help you discover it. 

Each fall and spring semester, we host Launch Days, a week of events and programming to explore entrepreneurship, launch an idea, and connect with other students interested in entrepreneurship. Launch Days can help you prepare to participate in Open Pitch Week, a week full of opportunities for ASU students to pitch an idea, receive feedback, and compete to receive funding. Check out the Open Pitch Week website for more details.

Spring 2025 Innovation Sprint

This semester we will also be hosting an Innovation Sprint as part of Launch Days. The Innovation Sprint is a dynamic hackathon-style event designed to foster creativity and collaboration among students!

Over the course of this exciting Innovation Sprint, teams will tackle real-world challenges, brainstorm innovative solutions, and develop actionable prototypes. Participants will have access to resources, mentorship, and guidance as they work under pressure to bring their ideas to life.
