There’s a better way to startup.
We’ve combined the value of an accelerator with the long term commitment of an experienced cofounder.
Don’t go it alone, let’s launch together.
David Baker, Founder @ Launch Partner
"I've launched startups, designed and built dozens of brands and had some good (and bad) exits. What I’ve learned is that going it alone is really, really tough. I started this business because I love zero-to-one work and am so grateful for the wonderful partners I’ve had at my side. Every founder should have that support.
Let’s talk!
Whether you want to partner with us or not, we’re committed to providing you with support. We care about helping founders succeed and are more than happy to help however we can. Seriously.
Are we a fit?
Well, maybe this will help. We think businesses should be:
Founder-Led
There is no shortage of advice available to founders these days. Indeed, armchair generals abound and it’s easy to get caught up in the “path” that has been designed for startups these days. VCs and investors are, generally, singularly focused on seeking or delivering financial results. The model is built to de-risk their investment, not yours.
We believe your business should serve you. Period. If you want to start a restaurant, great. If you want to build the next massive B2B tech platform, awesome. If you just want to generate some side hustle money to feed a hobby, fantastic.
Don’t misunderstand, we won’t hold back on advice either, but ultimately we serve you and your vision. We believe we can make money together in all sorts of ways.
Human-Centered
Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that hinges on your startup’s success or failure. In fact, statistically success will only come from playing the long game
Instead, think of entrepreneurship as a discipline. No business is willed into existence, they all require the right conditions - since can’t control all of those variables, we encourage founders to build lifelong entrepreneurial skills that will serve them now and in the future.
If your first venture doesn’t take off but you invested your time in learning (and not just building) then you’ll be prepared for the next opportunity.
Revenue-Focused
In our experience, businesses that seek revenue early are more likely to succeed. It’s the fastest path to validation and product / market fit. User feedback is great, but until your customer pays you for something they aren’t bought in.
Seth Godin put it like this, “Begin with the smallest possible project in which someone will pay you money to solve a problem they know they have. Charge less than it's worth and more than it costs you. Repeat. You don't have to wait for perfect or large or amazing."
