Launch University - Spring 2023

Do you have an idea for a business, but don't know where to start?

Launch University is a 5-week class on turning new ideas into actionable plans presented by Fuse in Tri-Cities, WA. Since 2013, Fuse has been providing grassroots education programs in building startups, small businesses, and better solopreneurs. We've helped dozens of successful businesses get off the ground, including Solar Spirits distillery, PerplEXIT escape room, and WholeStory hiring software.

The series begins with four workshops on unique topics to prepare new ideas - and first-time founders - for debut to the world. This will be every Tuesday, for 5 weeks, each night covering knowledge in a different theme: Customer Validation (May 9th), Business Model (May 16th), Pitching (May 23rd), Business 101 (May 30th), Pitch Night (June 6th). Each night will be from 6:30PM to 8:30PM at Fuse in Richland (723 The Parkway).

The final pitch night is a public event where members of the community are invited to watch you pitch, then a judging panel will give you a red, yellow, or green rating for how they think you should proceed.

This is the IN-PERSON version of Launch University. There is an online, on-demand course that supplements this course that is available to all community members for FREE.
