Launch NY is a vital piece of the funding backbone across Buffalo and other startup economies in western and central New York.
Launch NY's recent annual report highlighted a year of milestones in 2025, including the closure of its nearly $16 million LP Fund II, surpassing 500 accredited investors on its Investor Network and celebrating another exit from its portfolio.
“There are moments when you stop and recognize how far we’ve come," president and CEO Marnie LaVigne said the report. "That the vision we’ve been building toward is taking shape across companies, careers, and communities. 2025 was that moment for Launch NY. A year of not just growth, but elevation."
