Launch Fest

Startup Conference & Demo Day – 2010-2015

New Orleans

Every community has a desire for growth. The right type of catalyst can help build on existing momentum. The Launch Pad Foundation helps catalyze ecosystem momentum in different ways, working  in communities everywhere.

Launch Fest was an exciting startup conference and demo day featuring prominent speakers from the tech industry and startups based in New Orleans. Renowned figures such as Alexis Ohanian, Brad Feld, Scott Case, and Paul Singh graced the event with their insights and expertise.

Launch Fest helped ignite the post-Katrina startup renaissance in New Orleans. Ultimately, it was acquired by Collision Conference in its move to New Orleans.
