Meet the six finalists of CodeLaunch DFW 2023, including a North Texas company using AI to streamline manufacturer-supplier communications. The event, which started in 2013 as a unique spin on the seed accelerator concept, fuels startups with the tools for "liftoff." But at the raucous main event where founders are rockstars, it's showtime.
After years of holding its annual event in Frisco, CodeLaunch DFW is coming to Southside Music Hall at Gilley’s in Dallas on November 16. Six companies will face off for the top prize in an event that comprises a tech tradeshow, a startup conference, and a “raucous networking event.” And this year it's modeling itself after local favorite Digital Fight Club.
“CodeLaunch is a startup and rock-n-roll show like nothing you've ever seen before,” promises President and Founder Jason Taylor.
