To get even more pedantic, they are building apps, not launching them.

Not that I want to dismiss the efforts - a group of people all challenging themselves to build out a side project in 24 hours is commendable. But building an idea into an MVP on a Saturday is not the same thing as launching a company.

If it is live on a public url, then it is "launched", so they are launching apps/products.

Deploy to production = launch

I would agree that there is more to a business than a product

but what actually qualifies as a launch?
