Why join

Why League of Launchers hits different.

No fluff. No theory-only sessions. Every week ends with something built, scored, and reviewed.

One Dedicated Trainer

Not a rotating cast. One trainer who knows your name, your idea, your blockers. All 8 weeks.

Industry Hackathon Day

Solve actual problems from real companies. Get in the room with industry leaders before you graduate.

Performance-Tracked

Weekly assignments, attendance, dashboard submissions. We take commitment seriously.

No-Code & Vibe-Coding First

Never built with AI? Start here. We teach the no-code AI stack and vibe-coding workflow — by Week 5 you'll have a working MVP, and a polished one by Demo Day. Engineers welcome too.

Mentors Who've Done It

Founders, investors, and experts from Pakistan's top companies and global platforms.

Nationwide Community

A cohort of driven builders from across Pakistan. Your next co-founder is in this programme.

Real Credentials

Certificates, portfolio deliverables, and ecosystem visibility that actually mean something.

Post-Programme Pathways

Google Cloud credits, NIC Islamabad incubation, venture studio support, StartupDotPk media coverage.

Programme structure

8 weeks to launch-ready.

Every week is a level up. Here's what the journey looks like:

Week 1

Problem Discovery

Customer discovery, user personas, pain-point mapping. Dig deep into real problems.

Week 2

Market Validation

Get out of the building. Validate with real users before you build a single line of code.

Week 3

Solution Design & UX

Shape your solution. Build wireframes. Design for your actual user, not your assumptions.

Week 4

Technical Prototyping

Turn designs into a working prototype. Choose your stack. Start building.

Week 5

MVP Development

Sprint. Test. Iterate. Your Minimum Viable Product comes to life this week.

Week 6

Business Case

Numbers, market, motion. Prove the why behind the build.

Week 8 · Final

Demo Day · Islamabad

Present your MVP to investors, industry leaders, and ecosystem players. Winners announced.

Builder Score

Scored on what you build,
not how you pitch.

Every team gets a Builder Score — a transparent, evidence-based rating built up across five scored checkpoints during the bootcamp. AI-evaluated, mentor-reviewed, weighted by stage. This is what sponsors see.

01
Problem framing

Week 2 · written submission

02
Validation

Week 4 · real evidence from real users

03
Prototype

Week 5–6 · demo link or recording

04
Business case

Week 6–7 · numbers, market, motion

05
Final pitch

Demo Day · live, judged on stage

Clarity

Can a stranger understand the problem and your solution in 60 seconds?

Evidence

Real user interviews, data, traction — not opinions or assumptions.

Execution

What you actually shipped this week — code, demos, customer outcomes.

Progress

Movement between checkpoints — are you learning, iterating, advancing?

Why this matters

CVs can't tell anyone who can actually build with AI. Builder Score can. After the bootcamp, your full score breakdown is yours to keep — and shared with our title sponsor for hiring and partnership conversations.

Prizes & perks

What you're playing for.

Cash, credits, incubation, and an ecosystem that opens doors well after Demo Day.

PKR 100,000

Cash prize for the winning team.

A chance to get into Taksh — extended mentorship, build support, and a path from MVP to real company for top teams.

Media Feature

StartupDotPk podcasts, articles, and social reach.

Industry Award

Special recognition from Hackathon Day partner companies.

Tools & Templates

Frameworks, worksheets, and a participant dashboard you keep after the bootcamp.

Certificate

Certificate of Completion for every participant who finishes strong.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

What's the investment?
The investment is PKR 10,000 per team for the entire 8-week bootcamp. Applications close 4 June 2026.
Who can apply?
Students and young professionals from anywhere in Pakistan. No specific degree or background required — just drive, commitment, and a problem you care about solving.
Can I join online?
Yes. The bootcamp is hybrid. Online participants get full access to all sessions, the dashboard, mentor interactions, and the community. You'll sign your T&C digitally at registration.
Do I need a team to apply?
No. You can apply solo and form a team during Orientation Day — or bring your own crew of up to 4 people.
Do I need technical skills to join?
No. You don't need to know AI, code, or anything technical to apply. We start with no-code AI tools (think Bolt, Lovable, v0, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Replit Agents, n8n, Make, Zapier-style stuff) and a vibe-coding workflow that lets you ship working products without writing code yourself. Engineers welcome too — they'll go deeper on the stack. Teams are encouraged to be cross-functional: designers, builders, business minds all belong here.
What happens if I miss sessions?
We take attendance seriously. Miss 2 or more sessions without notice and you may be dropped from the bootcamp. We ask for commitment upfront — that's what the T&C is for.
What do I submit during the bootcamp?
Each week has a deliverable uploaded to the dashboard — from your problem statement in Week 1 to your final pitch deck in Week 8. These build your complete founder portfolio.
What's the Builder Score?
Five scored checkpoints across the bootcamp — problem framing, validation, prototype, business case, final pitch. Scored on clarity, evidence, execution, and progress. AI-evaluated, mentor-reviewed.
When does it start?
Orientation Day is in mid-June 2026. Applications close 4 June — apply early.
