Applications are now open for Launch Chapel Hill’s 21st startup accelerator! The application period runs until January 5, 2023, and the accelerator will begin in early February 2023. Questions anytime to tim@launchchapelhill.com

But for those who came out to the Launch Demo Day event one early May evening to hear from one of the most diverse sets of companies you’ll find anywhere, the startup accelerator offered a different kind of focus. This event was less about what the companies were doing, and more about where they’re going.
