Change Mechanics has opened applications for League of Launchers Season 02, an eight-week hybrid artificial intelligence startup bootcamp that will run from June to August 2026, inviting students, young professionals, fresh graduates, and early-stage founders from across Pakistan to join a structured programme designed to take participants from idea to validated minimum viable product.
The programme is a Pakistan-wide, mentor-led hybrid bootcamp designed to enable participants to join from anywhere in the country, combining structured learning with weekly checkpoints, an industry hackathon, and a Demo Day pitch experience. Participants will work exclusively on artificial intelligence startup ideas, beginning with no-code artificial intelligence tools and vibe-coding workflows before progressing through problem discovery, validation, prototyping, minimum viable product development, and investor-ready pitch preparation. The structured eight-week arc is designed to prevent the most common failure mode of early-stage founders, which is spending months in ideation without producing something tangible that can be tested with real users.
Looking back at Season 01, the programme reports receiving more than 300 applications from 17 cities and converting 57 early-stage ideas into active startups. Overall, League of Launchers says it has supported more than 300 participants through its startup-building initiatives. The Season 01 track record gives the second edition a credible foundation from which to recruit, with proven ability to attract diverse applicants from outside Pakistan’s main technology hubs and convert a meaningful proportion of early ideas into ventures that outlast the programme itself. Adding a competitive element to the programme, the winning team of Season 02 will receive a cash prize of Rs100,000, with TechJuice joining as the Official Outreach Partner.
For Pakistan’s growing community of artificial intelligence-native founders, League of Launchers Season 02 fills a specific gap in the startup support ecosystem: a programme that combines the structured rigour of a cohort-based bootcamp with the flexibility of a hybrid format that does not require participants to be based in a single city. The inclusion of no-code artificial intelligence tools and vibe-coding workflows as entry points makes the programme accessible to founders without deep technical backgrounds, while the progression toward minimum viable product development and investor pitch preparation ensures that technically capable participants are also challenged to build businesses rather than just prototypes.
