Launchpad

You bring the domain expertise, we bring the engineering depth. After three hours you hold a prototype in your hands. You can click through it, show it around, and build on it. The session costs you nothing.

A working session

Your knowledge of the problem meets a team of senior engineers. In three hours you go from idea to prototype. It's made for founders, product leads, and domain experts who've done the thinking and want to see where the idea leads.

Three acts

1
Unpack
Your idea comes onto the table

You tell us about the idea, and we ask the questions that move it forward. Does this scale? What data sits behind it? Where are the risks? Every feature goes on a card, and the fuzzy parts get clearer as assumptions come up.

2
Distill
Many ideas become one focus

You can't build everything at once. Three exercises help you decide what comes first, and we show you the architecture behind each choice.

3
The Reveal
Your prototype was being built the whole time

While you were prioritizing, we were building. At the end we turn the screen around and show you your idea as a prototype you can click through and show to others. Then we refine it together.

The three exercises

Complexity Poker

You spread tokens across your features, one token per dev-month. It quickly shows which features cost more than they're worth: the essential one might cost two, the nice-to-have six.

Drop it

You cut the feature you're attached to, and circle the skull on the ones that don't make it. What's left is a leaner product, with a reason behind every cut.

Constraint Rounds

Scenarios like 'your first 100 users only need...' or 'you launch in 8 weeks with...' make you choose what comes first.

What you take home

Why it costs nothing

Launchpad is how we get to know each other. You see how we think and work, and we learn about your problem. You don't owe us anything for it.

If it fits for both sides afterwards, we keep building with you, from prototype to finished product. If it doesn't, you still have prototype and shortlist. Both are yours.

We think a problem through together before we build anything.
