TroyLabs LAUNCH Fall 2026

​LAUNCH is TroyLabs' semester-end pitch competition and the final milestone of the BUILD Accelerator. Our four BUILD startups will present their work to a panel of experienced investors and industry professionals for a chance to win equity-free funding and expand their professional network.

Each competing team has spent 8 weeks working alongside a dedicated TroyLabs team across product, engineering, design, marketing, finance, and venture capital. They've refined their MVP, sharpened their business strategy, and have been preparing for this moment.

This event is open to all — whether you're a student, founder, or simply curious about the USC startup ecosystem, you're welcome to come watch, connect, and support the next generation of student entrepreneurs.

Attendees can expect live startup pitches, judge Q&A, and an opportunity to connect with the USC entrepreneurship community.

​Catered dinner & refreshments will be provided.

Presented by TroyLabs, USC's premier startup accelerator.
