New on the Launchpad

The latest ideas and startups

No idea is public yet. Join and yours can be the first.

How it works

From first idea to first investor

Five steps, each in the open, each at your own pace.

  1. Step 1

    Join

    Sign up as a founder, an investor or a supporter, and confirm your email. Nothing you write is public before that.

  2. Step 2

    Post your idea

    Describe the problem, your solution and your market, what stage it is at, and what you're asking for.

  3. Step 3

    Show your progress

    Add milestones as you reach them: your idea's page draws its progress on a timeline.

  4. Step 4

    Build your team

    Invite the members you work with to your idea's team. They show on its page once they accept.

  5. Step 5

    Pitch our team

    Send your pitch to the Launchpad team. We read every one and connect the strongest with mentors, companies and investors.

Who it is for

Founders, investors and the people who help them

  • Founders

    You have an idea or a startup: post it, find a team, gather feedback and support.

  • Investors

    An angel, a fund, a government programme, a company or an accelerator: once our team verifies you, founders can pitch you.

  • Supporters

    A mentor, an advisor, a service provider or simply curious: follow ideas, comment and help founders.

Safety

Open to all, safe for the young

The rules every member agrees to, kept by the platform itself.

  • Young founders are protectedMembers under 18 post and comment in public, but no one can message them privately, and their pitches to investors go through our team.
  • No contact details in publicPhone numbers, emails and messaging handles are refused wherever they are typed into public text. Members reach each other through the Launchpad.
  • Confirmed before publicEvery member confirms their email before anything they write is shown, and every account under 18 names a parent or guardian who agrees.
  • Investors verified by our teamAn investor wears the investor badge, and can receive pitches, only once our team has checked their proof.

  • Astra's Launchpad connects people: it never holds, moves or promises money. Raises are self-reported unless our team has verified them; do your own checks before you invest.
