We've launched a new incubator for Cloud Kitchen Startups... it's called @LAUNCH Cloud Kitchen (LiCK!)
Some details:
1. It's a 14-week program to help entrepreneurs start, build, and scale a food business.
2. As I’m sure you are aware, a cloud kitchen (aka ghost kitchen) is a virtual restaurant operated like a regular restaurant but without dine-in.
3. There is a unique opportunity for founders to create the next legendary culinary brand enabled by these booming platforms, and we would like to accelerate the process for them.
4. The LCK will provide mentorship on kitchen economics, business operations, digital marketing, sales, branding, and fundraising.
5. We’ll accept seven entrepreneurs for our first cohort beginning in fall 2023.
We are looking for:
✅ Successful tech entrepreneurs interested in the food/ghost kitchen space
✅ Food entrepreneurs who want to expand in the ghost kitchen space
✅ Entrepreneurs or chefs looking for a co-founder
You don’t need an existing business to apply -- just a great idea!
We’ve put up a website with an FAQ and application:
We're excited to introduce The LAUNCH Cloud Kitchen Incubator (LCK), a 14-week program to help entrepreneurs start, build, and scale a food business.
The LCK will provide mentorship on kitchen economics, business operations, digital marketing, sales, branding, and fundraising.

Although we never considered building specifically for sports, we knew Balloon’s application was horizontal across industries because bias, stalled innovation, and ineffective collaboration are ubiquitous.
Thanks @LemireJoe for covering our traction with the @astros + MLB! 🎈⚾️
We met @JimenezBienen Founder of RillaVoice in late 2021.
It was early.
They had ~$4k MRR & hadn’t found PMF.
We liked it, but they were between stages where we invest.
So, we passed.
But then... 🧵
Founders: starting to fundraise?
At @LAUNCH, we've watched hundreds of startups raise money from angels & VCs
Some are successful & others aren’t
Here’s 4 tactical steps to get started
🧵…
Since launching the @FounderUni two-day program in 2017...
we've hosted 24 workshops
had 5,000+ founders learn about fundraising, growth, hiring, and more
AND invested in 18 of those founders
→ the next Founder University is February 16-17, and it's for woman founders 👇

My favorite part of working with @launchincubator is the hour each cohort that we get to spend with @roelofbotha, @josephinekchen, & the @sequoia team!
The deep interest, brilliant insights & questions, experienced vision, & genuine support from Roelof and his team are unmatched
