Launchpad · 12-week sprint

Go from idea to a launched, paying product in 12 weeks.

For people with an idea they're done sitting on — a new venture, or the next thing for the business they already run.

Not another course you watch alone. A guided sprint with a cohort, coaches, and weekly milestones — built to get your product shipped and selling, not just planned. There's a bar to get in, and it's exactly why people finish.

From $2,499 · Small cohorts · You apply, then we talk

What you leave with

  • A launched product that has made real money
  • A repeatable way to sell it
  • A growth engine that's actually running
  • A 90-day roadmap for what's next
Is this you?

You've got the idea. You're done sitting on it.

Maybe you've already started — and stalled. You don't need more theory or another tutorial; you need the structure, the deadlines, and the people to actually finish and launch it. If you've got something real and you're ready to do the work, this was built for you.

Why most products never ship

Four ways ideas die. Launchpad removes each one — in order.

Products rarely fail because the build was bad. They fail for the same few reasons, every time. The program is engineered to take each one off the table.

Built the wrong thing

So we make you validate demand before you're even admitted.

Never finished

So the build is time-boxed to an MVP — must-haves only.

Never launched

So Week 8 is a hard launch line. Perfectionism doesn't get a vote.

No revenue

So pricing, funnel, and traffic are built into the program from day one.

Admission

Timing matters. So does doing the foundational work. See if you're ready.

Launchpad is a 12-week sprint. Two things have to be true before you apply — a validated idea, and the time to build it. That's what the Pre-Launch Sequence below is: the foundational work, done before you're in, so you spend all 12 weeks building instead of figuring it out.

Think you're ready?

If you've done the work below, apply. If not, start free in the community — the readiness track and templates walk you through every step, then you apply.

See if you're ready Get the readiness templates
1
Idea & customer defined

A one-line value proposition + an Ideal Customer Profile specific enough that we can picture exactly who buys and why.

2
10 customer conversations

At least ten real conversations with potential customers about the problem — listening, not pitching.

3
A real demand signal

At least 5 people who'd buy at your price — or 3 pre-sales / letters of intent. Money and commitment beat opinions.

4
Problem & solution one-pager

The validated problem, your proposed solution, and why now — backed by what you heard.

5
MVP scope sketch

The smallest version that delivers the core value — must-haves only, buildable in the program.

6
Readiness & commitment

Honest confirmation you can give ~8–10 hrs/week and understand this is a sprint.

7
Application + fit call

Submit the above, then a short call where we confirm the idea's validated and you're ready to go.

The 12 weeks

Every week ends in a real deliverable.

You're not collecting lessons — you're shipping a business, one milestone at a time, reviewed by us and the cohort.

What's included

Everything that gets you across the line.

Weekly live coaching + hot seats

Real-time guidance and reviews of your actual product.

The Launchpad Vault

Validation scripts, ICP & offer templates, landing pages, launch email sequences, pricing frameworks, AI build-prompt packs.

Private cohort + accountability pods

Your crew for the 12 weeks, inside the community.

Weekly milestones with review

The accountability that actually gets people to the finish line.

A direct lane to The Creation Lab & The Center Stage

At member rates — when you'd rather have part of it built or marketed for you.

Lifetime access + alumni community

Recordings and your cohort, for good.

A capstone Vibe Vaca invite

The build-and-balance retreat for graduates.

Our guarantee

We don't stop until you launch.

Do the work and you'll launch. If you keep up your end and you're still not live by week 12, we keep working with you until you are — and either way, you walk away with a 90-day roadmap to follow. Your momentum is the whole point, and we're not done until you have it.

Who's guiding you

Led by people who've been stuck too.

Launchpad is run by builders who've lived the whole arc — launches that flopped, startups built from nothing, and operations run at ten-figure scale, with every hard-won lesson in between. We know the friction you'll experience because we've lived it, and we know the path because we've walked it. You're not guided by theory — you're guided by people who failed, figured it out, and did it anyway.
