Is this right for you?

Built for early-stage startups with a specific problem to solve.

The Launchpad works best when you have one clear operational bottleneck eating your team's time. If you're not sure where to start, Start with the free AI Mapping Call instead it is the better first step — it will give you that clarity before you commit to anything.

Team solving operational problems

One bottleneck. Five weeks. A working AI solution in your live operations.

You're a strong fit if

  • You have one specific, repetitive workflow eating your team's time
  • Someone on your team will actually use the solution every day
  • You can describe the problem concretely — time lost, tasks done manually, friction points
  • You're ready to test AI in real operations, not just a demo environment
  • Your team is 5 to 20 people

Not the right time if

  • You're looking for a full operational transformation across every department
  • You haven't identified your biggest bottleneck yet. Start with the free AI Mapping Call instead.
  • You need strategic advice more than a working solution
  • Your team can't commit three weeks to properly test something new
What Is Included

Everything you need to run AI in production.

This is not a proof of concept. You get a working solution deployed in your real operations, plus the support to run it confidently from day one.

Custom AI Solution
01

Custom AI Solution

Built specifically for your workflow — not a generic chatbot or off-the-shelf tool. We connect to your existing systems, automate the process end-to-end, and deploy it exactly where your team already works.

Live Deployment
02

Live Deployment

Runs in your actual operations from day one. Real data, real workflows, real results. No sandbox testing, no staged environments, no hypothetical scenarios — just the solution working where it counts.

Active Monitoring
03

Active Monitoring

We watch the solution every single day during your trial. If something breaks or behaves unexpectedly, we fix it within 24 hours. You're not handed a tool and left to figure it out — we're in it with you.

Clear Success Metrics
04

Clear Success Metrics

Before we write a single line of code, we agree on exactly what success looks like. Specific, measurable outcomes. At the end of the trial, there is no ambiguity — you either hit the target or you walk away.

The Process

From problem to working solution in five weeks.

No long discovery phases. No theoretical frameworks. We find your biggest bottleneck, build AI to handle it, and deploy it in your actual workflows.

1 day · to apply

Tell us what is broken

01

Apply and describe your specific operational problem — not "we need AI" but "our team spends 10 hours weekly on manual reporting" or "support ticket triage eats our mornings." The more specific you are, the better we can help.

Week 1 · audit & planning

Map the exact workflow

02

A focused 45-minute call where we walk through your current process step by step — every tool, every handoff, every point of friction. We are not guessing what is broken. We are mapping it precisely. By the end, we agree in writing on what success looks like.

Weeks 2–3 · build & deploy

We build your solution

03

One to two weeks to build a custom AI solution for your exact problem. No templates. No generic tools. We connect to your systems, automate the workflow, and deploy it where your team actually works. You stay informed but do not need to manage the build.

Weeks 4–6 · live trial

Test it in real operations

04

Three weeks running live — not in a sandbox, in your actual operations with real data and real workflows. We monitor it daily, fix any issues within 24 hours, and track the metrics we agreed on. At the end, you decide.

After the Trial

If it doesn't deliver

You walk away. No invoice.

If the solution doesn't hit the measurable outcomes we agreed on at the start, there is nothing to pay. No partial invoices, no "almost there" fees. We share the risk entirely.

FAQ

Common questions about the Launchpad.

Still have something we haven't covered? Apply and ask us directly in your application. We respond to every submission personally, not with an autoresponder.

The Launchpad works best for repetitive operational workflows that eat your team's time, manual reporting, support ticket triage, onboarding documentation, data entry across tools, recurring admin tasks. If it's repetitive and currently manual, we can almost certainly automate it.

We're not building custom software from scratch. We use AI tools and automation platforms to solve a specific workflow problem fast. A developer would take months and cost significantly more. We deliver in weeks, and the solution keeps running after we hand it over, without an engineering team to maintain it.

No. We handle all the technical work. You need one person who understands the workflow problem well enough to walk us through it during the mapping call, and who can test the solution during the trial. That's it.

The solution runs live in your operations. Your team uses it daily with real data and real workflows. We monitor it constantly, fix any issues within 24 hours, and track the metrics we agreed on before the build. You're never on your own.

Yes. If the trial delivers results and you want to continue, we can discuss adding workflows one at a time. Most startups start with one bottleneck, see real results, and expand from there. We'd rather prove value first than build everything upfront.

We deliberately limit how many startups we take on at once to ensure we can deliver quality to every one we accept. If your application is a strong fit, you'll hear from us within three to five business days. If it's not, we'll tell you honestly and point you somewhere more useful.

The Launchpad is not the right fit if you don't have a specific problem identified yet. Start with the free AI Mapping Call instead. it's designed for exactly this moment and will give you clarity on where to focus before you commit to anything bigger.
