About Us

We believe great teams deserve great tools.

Launchpad was built by a team that spent years wrestling with clunky project management tools. We knew there had to be a better way to help teams focus on what matters: shipping great work.

Our Story

Startup team brainstorming with sticky notes on a whiteboard

In 2019, three engineers at a fast-growing startup hit a wall. Their team had outgrown spreadsheets, but every project management tool they tried felt like it was built for a different era.

Too many clicks. Too many features they did not need. Too much friction between having an idea and actually executing on it.

So they built Launchpad - first as an internal tool, then as a product. The goal was simple: create something they actually wanted to use. Something fast, flexible, and focused.

Today, over 5,000 teams trust Launchpad to manage their projects. And we are still building with the same philosophy: great tools should get out of your way so you can do great work.

Our Mission & Values

The principles that guide everything we build.

Mission

To help every team work better together. We build tools that remove friction, foster collaboration, and let people focus on what they do best.

Speed Over Perfection

Done is better than perfect. We ship early, learn fast, and iterate constantly. Our best features came from listening to real users.

Users First

Every decision starts with the question: will this make our users lives easier? If not, we do not build it.

Radical Transparency

We share our roadmap publicly, publish our uptime, and admit when we mess up. Trust is earned through honesty.

Inclusive by Design

Great products work for everyone. We prioritize accessibility, support multiple languages, and build for diverse teams.

Sustainable Growth

We are bootstrapped and profitable. No vanity metrics, no growth hacks. Just steady progress on a product people love.
