Lonely. Underfunded. Overlooked.

Lonely. Underfunded. Overlooked.

That's the reality for far too many founders building real businesses outside the tech bubble — the service providers, the makers, the shapers, the retailers, the service providers, the people turning hard-won expertise into something of their own.

For five years, Launchpad has been their community. Now we're building their access to capital.

My next project is simple to say and hard to do: create real access to finance for startups and small businesses in the non-tech space — with female founders at the heart of it.

Here's how we get there.

🤝 First, we connect. We bring business owners together with the people who can back them — angel investors, family offices and VCs who want purpose-driven opportunities the mainstream market keeps missing.

💰 Then we broaden the routes to capital — facilitating the buying and selling of businesses, and partnering with a licensed provider to bring loan offerings to founders who need working capital, not a Series A.

🚀 And eventually, the bigger ambition: a Launchpad fund of our own, backed by limited partners, deploying small-ticket capital directly into non-tech SMEs.

Small cheques. Big impact. The kind of funding that's hardest to find and changes everything when you do.

Non-tech founders aren't a niche. They're the backbone of every high street and every economy. It's time the capital caught up.

If you're an investor who wants in, or a founder who's been told "no" one too many times — let's talk.
