Hmm I will try
Autotow
reverse pully auto tow
Winch
winch with winch retrieve
Bungey
Shoulder launch
aerotow
Horse tow ( I know it sounds daft but I believe that they used a horse and a
tow rope at Dunstable pre war)

Now i am stuck. Any others?

Me162 was rocket launched glider. (So are Starship one and the Space Shuttles)
Kiting with no ground run - (know of one inadvertent launch this way.)
Self launch with internal combustion (piston reciprocating and turbine)
