LaunchBox, Trinity's Student Accelerator

What Is LaunchBox?

LaunchBox, Trinity's Student Accelerator, is here to help you start. We want to support you to turn your idea into a real-world business. LaunchBox wants to hear from you no matter what you're studying or how early-stage your idea is.

We provide teams of students with the ideal environment to get their ideas up and running. We offer a structured programme with expert help and support; work-space and co-working; ideation coaching and mentorship; invaluable feedback from the startup ecosystem; and a community of advisors, entrepreneurs, and alumni who will help you on your journey.

LaunchBox Phase 1: Term-time 

Phase 1 of LaunchBox is a term-time programme that will accelerate your idea, no matter what stage you’re currently at. Join us for an 8-week programme of expert advice, networking, ideation, customer development, pitching support and more.

Please submit a short application at the ‘Apply Now’ link above. Places are limited, so please submit your application soon. Deadline: 21 January 2025.

LaunchBox is open to teams and solo founders, though solo founders will be supported and encouraged to find co-founders throughout Phase 1. Teams must have just one current Trinity student participating to be eligible to apply. LaunchBox Phase 1 2025 will kick off on Tuesday 28 January, and run weekly on Tuesday evenings until March 18 2025.

LaunchBox Phase 2: Summer Residency

Phase 2 of LaunchBox is a summer residency programme that, for successful teams, will include free co-working space in the heart of Silicon Docks for 12 weeks of the summer. Phase 2 will include invaluable, bespoke support for your business or social enterprise.

Priority for the LaunchBox Summer Residency might be given to teams who completed Phase 1 of LaunchBox.

Trinity prides itself on its students’ innovation, enterprise, courage, and creativity, and LaunchBox is a perfect example of these qualities. We empower student founders to forge and follow their own path through entrepreneurship, and this is made possible through the support for such projects both within Trinity and within the startup ecosystem.
