Launchpad

A Strategy Workshop For Identifying Quick Business Wins

Quickstart Your Ideas

Over the past 20 years, we’ve helped some of the world’s best known brands validate new ideas using proven methods to deliver the hard data they need before they invest in full scale product design and development. And we’re able to do this through one, simple process.

LaunchPad is a low-cost, collaborative program that seeks to answer these important questions:

  1. What’s it going to take to bring your product vision to reality?
  2. How much would it cost to bring an Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to market?
  3. How long will it take to bring an Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to market?

Why Launchpad?

Whether your business is a startup or a global enterprise, the decisions to launch a new digital product are hard and complex.

We created LaunchPad to break through the inertia of indecision. A recurring challenge among business leaders is the drawn-out, often tedious innovation cycle. These prolonged phases have, unfortunately, been the downfall of countless ideas and concepts.

Brilliant sparks of innovation have often been left in the shadows, or worse, abandoned altogether, due to overwhelming complexities and uncertainties.

Launchpad seeks to revolutionize this narrative.

By providing a clear, streamlined pathway, it ensures that ideas are not just nurtured but accelerated, bypassing traditional hurdles. With our program, visionary projects have a significantly higher chance to not only see the light of day but to truly dazzle and make their mark in the marketplace.

Launchpad is more than just a cost-effective and proven program.

Break through the inertia of indecision and validate new ideas, fast.

  • A carefully curated blueprint for business leadership seeking to determine the viability of their MVP. Understand what it will take in terms of money, time and effort to bring your MVP to market. It’s that simple.

  • With Launchpad, you don’t just get a vague idea – you get tangible outcomes. By providing a clear, streamlined pathway, it ensures that ideas are not just nurtured but accelerated, bypassing traditional hurdles.

  • Understand what it will take in terms of money, time and effort to bring your MVP to market. Visionary projects have a significantly higher chance to not only see the light of day but to truly make their mark in the marketplace.
