Our story
From a garage idea to 12,000 businesses
In 2019, our founders tried to launch a small online shop and ran straight into a wall of disconnected tools, hidden fees, and confusing setup screens. What should have taken a weekend took three months.
They figured if it was that painful for two engineers, it was impossible for most people with a great idea but no technical background. Launchpad is the platform they wished they'd had — one calm, friendly place to start and grow a business, without needing a developer, an accountant, and a small fortune up front.
Today, founders in 40+ countries use Launchpad to turn ideas into income — and we're just getting started.
