About Launchpad
Launchpad is a 12-week, self-paced, fully remote programme designed as a tactical sprint from idea to execution, using structured playbooks and investor-backed strategies. It is a course for founders at the idea and proof-of-concept stage, not a funded programme.
What you get
- Twelve weeks of structured work on customer discovery, defining your ideal customer and a no-code first version
- Help with first traction, a pitch deck and a fundraising plan
- No tuition. There is a refundable accountability fee, returned when you finish.
Who can apply
- Founders at the idea and proof-of-concept stage, described as people about six months from leaving a job to build full time
- No formal criteria beyond willingness to commit to twelve weeks of work
