The numbers behind the hum of standing desks.

Not a coworking space. A launch infrastructure. Every desk has a story ending in a term sheet.

03 / FOUNDER STORIES

Real founders. Real revenue numbers. No polish.

$2.1Mseed round closed
"I closed our $2.1M seed round six weeks after joining Launchpad. The VC who led it had a standing desk three rows from mine. That proximity is not something you can manufacture."

"We shipped our first paying customer in 19 days. The energy here at 11pm is unlike anything I've experienced. Everyone around you is building something that doesn't exist yet — it's contagious."

Common questions

Correct. Day passes are one day. Monthly plans are billed monthly and cancel anytime with 7 days notice. We don't believe in long-term bets on coworking spaces.

23 VC partners maintain standing desks at Launchpad as their "scout" base. They're not here to pitch you — they're here to work. The introductions happen organically over espresso. We also run structured office hours weekly.

10 Gbps symmetric fiber, redundant across two ISPs. Dedicated VLAN per company on request. If your product requires bandwidth to test, we've got you covered.
