FUSE Announces LAUNCH Accelerator Final Pitch Night – June 11

FUSE is proud to host the Final Pitch Night for its Spring 2025 LAUNCH Accelerator cohort on Tuesday, June 11 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at FUSE SPC, located at 723 The Parkway in Richland. The event will showcase three emerging startups as they present their final pitches after completing an intensive 8-week program designed to accelerate their ventures.

The evening will feature:

• Live pitches from three promising startups innovating in education, medicine, and consumer behavior.
  
• Complimentary food and beverages
  
• A full bar hosted by Solar Spirits, celebrating local flavor and entrepreneurship.

​The presenting companies will share bold solutions to complex problems, ranging from empowering children through innovative education platforms, to redefining medical access, to decoding the Gen-Z wine market. This event marks the culmination of the LAUNCH Accelerator —a FUSE program built to support early-stage founders as they refine their business models, validate market fit, and prepare for growth and investment.

“We built LAUNCH to help founders turn their ideas into real businesses,” said Paul Carlisle, program architect and FUSE director. “Pitch Night is where the energy, ideas, and hard work collide—and the community gets to witness it all.”

The event is free and open to the public, but RSVP is recommended: fusespc.com/launch

In partnership with: Gravis Law, Solar Spirits, and the City of Richland
