Launch Angelenos Graduation Recap – Class of 2026

The Launch Angelenos program celebrated a landmark graduation on May 5th, 2026, with 15 entrepreneurs successfully completing all three phases. Operated through the Center for Social and Technology Entrepreneurship (C-STE) at California State University, Northridge’s David Nazarian College of Business and Economics, Launch Angelenos is designed to turn bold ideas into thriving businesses by providing aspiring founders with the tools, mentorship, and community support they need to grow.

This graduating cohort represents the program’s commitment to expanding entrepreneurial access across the greater Los Angeles community — providing expert guidance, hands-on learning, and real-world business development resources to entrepreneurs who might not otherwise have access to such support.

These entrepreneurs crossed the finish line, completing all three phases of the program and walking away with a full suite of business development resources — research, financials, pitch decks, and strategic planning tools tailored to their individual ventures. These graduates represent the diversity and entrepreneurial spirit of Los Angeles, and their completion of the program marks a critical inflection point in their business journeys.
