Year in Review: Maple Bespoke Program, NextWave Podcast, and Other 2024 Highlights

In 2024, Launch Academy celebrated its 12th anniversary. The changes prompted by the IRCC announcement in May led us to create a new program, Maple Bespoke, marking a significant milestone in our development.

We also launched a new podcast — NextWave by Traction — where every two weeks Silicon Valley’s brightest minds revisit the hottest topics from their past talks, from AI to growth marketing, and explore how these areas have evolved. Additionally, we continued hosting the Launch Builders Meetup, providing a platform for innovators and tech enthusiasts in Vancouver to connect and collaborate.

We are deeply grateful to our Launch community members, alumni, partners, and event attendees for your support throughout 2024. Join us in celebrating the milestones and achievements that have shaped our journey.
