🚀 LAUNCH 2026
​Executive MBA Entrepreneurship Club Presents
​Building the Foundation for More EMBA Launches
​Annual Founder Showcase & Ecosystem Forum
​Join us for the inaugural LAUNCH 2026 a signature annual event designed to bring together executive-level founders, operators, investors, and ecosystem builders shaping what’s next.
​This is more than a launch event, it’s the beginning of a tradition. A space where ideas meet execution, and where the Cornell EMBA community builds real momentum together.
​✨ What Makes This Different
​LAUNCH is intentionally designed to create movement, not just conversation.
​Founders don’t just pitch—they share what they need next
​Attendees don’t just listen—they actively connect, advise, and unlock opportunities
​Networking isn’t passive—it’s structured to drive real outcomes
​At its core, this event reflects our mission to support venture creation, growth, and meaningful connection across the entrepreneurial ecosystem
