Our community is nurtured by intentionally choosing founders and businesses who are open to new ideas, are willing to contribute, and are motivated to take action.
We deliberately cultivate diversity in the community because we know that creativity and innovation come from celebrating our differences, and not in the comfort of our similarities.
Grownup
30% the LaunchPad member businesses are Grown-ups, having operated profitably for at least 12 months and have in their books a credible portfolio of clients. Grown-ups benefit from exposure to innovative ideas and new thinking while they provide experience and wisdom support to the community.
SCALEup
50% of LaunchPad member businesses are Scale-ups, agile and dynamic businesses on a trailblazing innovation path and exponential growth trajectory. Scale-ups benefit from the relationships and idea viruses in a collaborative coworking space, access to inter-generational experience, inter-disciplinary knowhow and cross-cultural influences.
STARTup
10% of LaunchPad Coworking members are Start-ups. Strategically selected, Start-ups contribute to the eco-system by injecting new ideas and out-of-the-box thinking. At the same time, they gain bucketloads of care and TLC on their path to entrepreneurial inevitability.
Our Secret Sauce
We think we’ve found the secret recipe for innovation success…
Intergenerational.
We look for teams or organisations that are inter-generational, having a broader gamut of perspectives and life experiences on which to draw. They create a more resilient, robust and sustainable business.
Multicultural
The world is flat again – metaphorically speaking, and a melting pot of cultures, values and worldviews. The teams or organisations we seek have a diverse set of backgrounds and cultures that provide an invaluable arsenal of perspectives and approaches for today’s market as well as tomorrow’s.
Interdisiplinary
In the world of colliding disciplines today, a team or organisation which has inter-disciplinary people will be able to take on opportunities that others can’t because they have more in-depth, broader and versatile sets of capacities and capabilities, and are able to combine them to create new disciplines.
We call our members Collaborators.
When we do our job well, everyone in the community benefits from sharing ideas, knowledge and insights. The collision of founders with ideas leads to collaboration – that’s why we call our members Collaborators. As a team, we know we’ve succeeded when we see two or more companies working together to explore new opportunities, ideas and overcome challenges.
Join Our Community and become a collaborator.
