Join LaunchPad to receive tailored support and resources designed specifically for early-stage founders, helping you turn your big idea into a successful startup.

Why a Strong Startup Community Matters

Building a business in isolation? Tough. That’s where your startup community comes in. It fuels motivation, sparks collaboration, and offers fresh perspectives. When you surround yourself with fellow entrepreneurs, mentors and investors, you:

Gain real-talk feedback on your concept.
Connect with peers facing similar challenges.
Open doors to partnerships and early customers.

Whether you’re in London, Berlin or Toronto, a vibrant startup community can break down barriers and speed up your journey from idea to market.

Prepare for investor conversations.

Our secret sauce? Personalised support and a network of over 200 industry mentors ready to guide you. You won’t get lost in a crowd. Instead, you’ll receive one-on-one coaching that adapts to your pace and goals.
