We gotta get away from playing it safe.
From talking about ideas instead of building them. From waiting for the right time that never comes.
That’s what LaunchX was about. 11 days to escape the comfort zone and build something real.
Until next year. 🚀

LaunchX 2026 has come to an end and we couldn’t be prouder of what this cohort built.

Yesterday at Pitch Day, three teams stepped in front of our judges and pitched the startups they had been building, validating and refining over 11 intense days.

🎮 Kinet — a motion capture system that uses the phone in your pocket and the watch on your wrist to generate full-body animations, exported directly to Unity, Unreal, or Blender. Built for indie game developers and 3D creators who can’t afford $2,500+ mocap suits.

🇫🇮 Relocation Care Finland — a structured relocation support service helping families with family ties to Finland navigate permit applications, documentation, and settlement, from uncertainty to confidence.

📱 Cikola Games Studio — an AI-native mobile game studio focused on bringing the fun back to mobile gaming through ad-free puzzle games, using AI-assisted development to prototype and validate ideas faster than traditional studios.

🏆 The winner of LaunchX 2026 and the Slush ecosystem pass receiver is Kinet. Congratulations to the team!

A huge thank you to our mentors, judges, investors, volunteers and everyone who supported this program.

LaunchX exists to lower the barrier to entrepreneurship for students in Oulu and this cohort proved exactly why that matters.
See you in 2027. 🚀

We’d like to introduce the mentors of LaunchX 2026.

These are people who have built, invested, and navigated the messy early stages of startups and they’re joining us this June to share what they know with the next generation of founders in Oulu.

Each mentor brings a different perspective. Each session is designed to give our participants something they can actually use.

And a quick note — our workshops are open to everyone, not just program participants. If you’re curious about entrepreneurship and want to sit in on a session, you’re welcome.

You have the idea. You’ve had it for a while.

But something keeps stopping you. Maybe you don’t know where to start. Maybe you don’t feel ready. Maybe you’re waiting for the “right time.”

We made this video because that feeling is exactly why LaunchX exists.

11 days this June in Oulu. Free. Real mentors. Real customers. Real results.
The right time is now. 👇
