Startup/Product Name If you don’t have one, put down a project codename or the first idea that comes to mind — we just need a way to refer to your startup or product as we work together. The name can absolutely change later.
Describe Your Startup Idea in One Sentence What is the core offering of your product, the job to be done, or the key benefit to customers?
Why you and your team? What aspects of your professional background(s) make you and your team uniquely capable or situated to succeed in building this startup?
Why have you chosen to pursue this idea?
Who are the incumbents or competitors in this space? What do you believe in that they do not?
How long have you been working on, or percolating on, this idea?
Where are you in the development process of your idea? Please describe any validation work you may have already conducted. If you're simply at the "back of the napkin" idea stage, that's totally fine!
What are your current ideas on monetization for your new startup?
Please share links to any relevant documentation you may have created. This could be an explainer video, diagrams or product design sketches that demonstrate the idea, articles you’ve written examining the opportunity, etc.
Why Launchpad?
Why are you interested in joining the Launchpad program? How does our approach lend itself to your product or startup idea?
What is your ideal outcome after participating in the program?
Have you explored or applied to any other programs, accelerators, pre-accelerators, incubators, etc?
Are you familiar with Lean Startup methodology, Lean Customer Development, or any other frameworks associated with building a startup? If so, please elaborate.
Launchpad Commitment
By submitting this application, I acknowledge my understanding that the Launchpad Pre-Accelerate Program is an intensive, 12-week engagement focused on the validation of my startup idea. I understand that the Launchpad program is a "get out of it what you put into it" type of program. I am willing to commit to the process as well as the participatory requirements of the program. Application fees are non-refundable.
