We’re on a mission to enable the future of manufacturing by increasing automation and improving utilization

About us

Launchpad was founded by three entrepreneurs, who independently experienced the challenges and delays of manufacturing new hardware. Believing in a better way, they looked to use AI and advanced simulation technologies to automate portions of the design, procurement, and manufacturing process.

Mass customization, micro-factories, and software-defined robotics define the future of manufacturing. At Launchpad, we believe all of these strategies offer value by making supply chains shorter, reducing waste, and meeting customer’s desire for new features faster.
