by brandy shade

Join us for the next Success North Dallas monthly meeting. The CodeLaunch Panel will uncover proven strategies for igniting startups and existing businesses success! Here are the key takeaways you won't want to miss:

  • The Spark: CodeLaunch kicked off in Dallas as Code Authority in 2012 to empower startups with essential resources.

  • The Leap: Code Authority’s 2019 acquisition by Improving transformed CodeLaunch into a mobile accelerator, thriving, despite global challenges by offering full and complete software development for startups.

  • The Proof: ProsRent’s (one of the many successful companies) rose from CodeLaunch pitch to acquisition, fueled by partners like FirstGen Agency, proving the power of aligned support.

  • The Future: Innovation, community, and storytelling drive success for startups and established companies alike.

    CodeLaunch is the only startup accelerator that gives founders FREE professional software development—without taking equity. Finalists get paired with expert dev teams to build out their product, then pitch on the “venturetainment” stage in front of investors, VCs, and startup leaders at a high-energy pitch competition designed to generate real traction and opportunities for growth.

    This year, CodeLaunch is hosting three events across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, leading up to the CodeLaunch World Championship in Dallas TX, where the top startups will compete for $50K in funding.

    Come for a morning of networking and a chance to connect with fellow high-achieving professionals. Members, bring a first-time guest—they’re on us! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of today’s sharpest minds in business.

    At our monthly events you can expect an exciting opportunity to connect with, learn from, and grow alongside the leaders shaping the future. This is your chance to network with industry innovators, gain insights into cutting-edge trends, and participate in discussions that inspire your journey toward making an impact.

    At this meeting, we'll explore the intersection of Relationships~ Resources ~ Results, and community impact in today’s business landscape.

What is the significance of "access" according to Success North Dallas (SND)?

Access, as emphasized by SND, is the key determinant of success in the business world. It goes beyond traditional qualifiers like credentials, pedigree, or accolades. Access represents the ability to tap into opportunities, knowledge, and influential networks, thereby transforming potential into tangible achievements. SND posits that access is the ultimate metric for gauging one's potential, advocating that it should be available to anyone, regardless of their background or status.

How does SND challenge traditional norms of success?

SND challenges the conventional emphasis on credentials, pedigree, or accolades as prerequisites for success. Instead, it promotes the revolutionary idea that access is the true measure of one's potential. SND believes that success is not about a list of achievements but the ability to unlock and harness opportunities. By setting standards such as being a success in one's own eyes, honoring commitments, and being a giver, SND urges individuals to recognize that access transcends traditional success metrics and offers a more inclusive route to achieving their goals.

What is SND's approach to inclusivity and opportunity?

SND adopts an inclusive approach by recognizing that true potential is not confined to academic qualifications or a resume filled with accomplishments. It opens its arms to individuals from diverse educational backgrounds and experiences, advocating that anyone, from anywhere, can gain the access needed to achieve their desired success. SND emphasizes that access serves as the force that dismantles traditional barriers, providing an environment where doors are open to all who dare to dream and aspire. This approach facilitates a level playing field where potential can flourish, making SND a beacon for inclusivity in the business world.
