Understanding Our Process

Raising capital for your company can very be time-consuming and stressful.

Below are answers to some of the most common questions we get asked.

Does Launch Capital invest at seed?

Yes - We strive to be the first true believers in the founders of tomorrow’s legendary companies—to have conviction in them when the rest of the world does not yet understand their vision.

The entrepreneurs we partner with recognize that a seed partnership with Launch unlocks development and commercialization of the business and increases both the chances and magnitude of a seed-stage company’s chances for success.

What’s the process like?

To prepare for a meeting with Launch Capital, create a compelling deck that will help us understand your idea. We look for two things: 1) a unique insight about an important problem in a big market, and 2) the right team to tackle it. 

Hunger is a longstanding part of our ethos. We do not look for pedigree, but for people who inspire us to dream and who have a creative, even defiant, solution to a real problem.

If we pass—or if you choose not to partner with us—our door stays open. When your next round or next idea comes around, please reach out again. We will always be happy to hear from you.

What does partnership mean to us?

We commit to a select number of partnerships each year in companies that define categories and create markets. We are actively engaged partners who roll up our sleeves and dedicate decades of collective company-building experience to help founders achieve their potential.

Our founders tell us we are conviction-oriented, relentless and patient. We’ve seen a lot of missteps and have made many of our own. Our hope is that you might benefit from past founders’ hard lessons learned at great cost. We’re serious about our work, and carefully choose the words to describe it. While we’re sometimes called investors, that is not our frame of mind. We consider ourselves partners for the long term.

That’s why we work with companies across four key stages: seed, venture, growth and global growth. This allows us to partner with founders across every step of their journey.
