what is an SME?

subject matter experts, and why they matter to you

SMEs are seasoned operators, founders, and investors who join the launchpad specifically to help your cohort. each one brings deep experience in a sector or a function:

  • sectors like sports, gaming, hospitality, defense, climate, digital health
  • functions like fundraising, legal, go-to-market, product, engineering

during the three days you'll have access to one-on-one sessions, group breakouts, and direct intros to their networks. the lineup below tells you who's in the room and where each one can move you forward.
