Launchpeer Avis 106

Great product. Keep up the good work.

I had a good experience with the evaluation stage on Launchpeer. My CTR was lower than it needed to be at first, but they had good suggestions that helped me to improve it and hit the metric to move on. Thanks!

I am just finishing up the first stage of Launchpeer's program. Before I started with Launchpeer, motivation would ebb and flow, and I would often get stuck not knowing what the next steps for my startup should be. Launchpeer ensures that I am consistently working towards my goal, and learning valuable information on how to make my startup a success at every new step!

The Launchpeer program provided the structure and support for me to move my 'big idea' into the world of practical steps and progress. The program started a little bit slower, focusing on modules teaching me how to organize my thoughts and to present my idea with clarity. It was helpful, but I was iffy about the actual value of my investment. It all changed when the design team built an amazing visual prototype to bring my idea to life. They worked hard, and my entire network was blown away with what my idea actually would look like.

The value continued to increase from there with the launch and fundraising stages, where I had access to top-tier tools and learning modules on marketing automation, financial projections, data sourcing, and so on. Honestly, the investment probably would have been worth it just based on the amount I learned for the critical areas I need to be a founder; and it is so obvious I would have fallen short of my goals without these resources. If you want to finally take your shot at entrepreneurship, I absolutely recommend the Launchpeer program.

After completing the idea stage at Launchpeer I was very impressed with the process.

Launchpeer was great from the very beginning. Right from they initial phone call, the Launchpeer team was so helpful. They met us right where we were in regards to our company journey and helped paint a clear path towards success. The help you gain from Launchpeer is invaluable.

The idea stage made our team think and strategize much around the foundational pieces to our offering we never would have thought about in the first place. We feel excited and confident moving forward and bringing our MSP to market!

Idea stage provided good understanding about the business structure, creating website and many other things that first time start-up entrepreneur needs

So far in the Launchpeer program we have been incredibly happy with the process. The product stage was smooth, clear expectations were set and communication was professional and timely.

The LP team has been great and everything is covered with ease, s/o to them!

Launchpeer is just what I needed to help take my vision for Saivy from being an idea to actually helping me build a Minimal Sellable Product (or MVP) so that we can Launch. The program is structured in a way to help you succeed.

Launchpeer has been a wonderful experience. The way that the information is laid out is very detailed and orderly. If you apply yourself and follow directions the process flows smoothly and empowers you to compete in the marketplace at a higher level. Thanks, Launchpeer.

Launchpeer has been great. We joined their program about a year ago and had some starts and stops due to work responsibilities with our team.

Originally when my cofounder joined I wasn’t onboard yet, I joined the team after and jumped into the Launchpeer coursework and program late but immediately saw how helpful it was.

It’s basically a step by step guide on how to do everything a very young startup needs to do. The curriculum if fairly extensive, covering things like starting, growing and finding a startup, and for someone like myself who has limited experience in many of these areas I found it great to be able to rely on the program materials as well as the team they have. Their team is always very responsive, even though we’ve had times where we had to pause, their team always picked us up and got us going again very easily. We’ve also had many conversations with their founder Jake which was great considering how busy he seems to be, but working with other members of the team was great too, especially through the design of our prototype which we used extensively in our investor conversations.

We’re now about 1/3 of the way through our funding round, only friends and family so far, but we’re confident the same process we used for them will result in success with other investors too.

The only downside I’ll say is if you’re not proactive about engaging with their team you’ll miss out. Their team does a good job of being very fast and reactive with questions and needs, but you have to bring it up if you need help. We’ve admittedly not done a great job of that as a team.

Excited to see what the future brings and we’re happy for what we’ve been able to accomplish to this point with Launchpeer.

I started with Launchpeer in early 2021 and since then I have been incredibly impressed with their clear and concise feedback to help me get to where I am now, namely closing funding for my seed round.

When I joined Launchpeer I was just a guy with an idea. My cofounder and I were searching for a way to get our product built and stumbled upon Launchpeer from a Youtube ad.

At first we were very skeptical, but after learning about their process and speaking with a representative of their company, we found an immediate synergy. They seemed to understand our needs fully.

After we joined we were greeted with a very well systemized support system. It seemed that not only our team but other members of the program received responses incredibly quickly (from a passing thought, I don't think we ever went more than a few minutes for an answer from someone at Launchpeer, unless it was maybe the weekend). When I wanted a one-on-one call with a member of their team they always made themselves available.

Once we reached the funding stage we saw the true benefit we joined Launchpeer for, namely helping figure out which investors we should talk to and how to get their interest. Launchpeer helped us built out an entire pack of information for investors and then reviewed it to find some gaping holes we probably wouldn't want an investor to see. We used the system they taught us to gain about 15 meetings the first month of outreach, and closed 4 investors from that group, finishing our seed raise.

If you're considering joining Launchpeer though, there's a couple things you should keep in mind. First, they push you really hard to think differently about your idea, so go into it with a small ego and you'll be fine. Second, the founders who seemed to get the most help asked the most questions, so go into it curious and ready to learn. Third, do things exactly how they say, I saw a lot of other members struggle because they were trying to deviate from the process.

****UPDATE TO RESPOND TO THEIR REPLY***

Original message: This is a scam. Don’t waste your time or money on this accelerator. I joined because I am a non-technical founder. When I was ready to move toward building my app, I had a call with Jake. He promised to get back to me within a week. I have followed up in the Launchpeer slack with him and email for two weeks and have not heard back.

The program is elementary, and you can get better support and information from other accelerators.

Update: Wow. I love how far Lanuchpeer will go out of their way and flat-out lie in their replies. Please take a look at how they attack every other negative review.

Take a lesson out of their own playbook, and to avoid future entrepreneurs from falling for this scam, I wanted to reply and provide documentation to expose the untruths in their reply.

First, I reached out to Jake because Jake has always been the point of contact on all my calls throughout the program. I was moved into a general incubator slack, so I reached out to him directly to determine what steps I needed to take to start building my app. We originally spoke on the phone on July 27. I was promised a reply by July 29th. There was no reply, so I followed up on the same message we used to coordinate our call on Aug 3rd and Aug 6th. I also decided to send an email follow-up on August 10th. Neither on Slack nor via an out-of-office on his email was there an indication Jake was out of the office, and I should reach out to someone else on the team.

Frustrated, I decided to visit this site to read the reviews to see if others experienced the same thing as me. Low and behold, others have. After several weeks of no response from the founder, I decided to share my experience.

Within hours of my Trustpilot review, Joseph from Launchpeer reached out. Also, at the same time, my access to Launchpeer slack was removed with no advanced warning or explanation. Joseph shared with me that Jake has been traveling since August 4th to explain his lack of response. However, that date is still a week after the original follow-up date provided by Jake. So the timelines don’t add up.

Additionally, I paid $5,000 to be a part of this program, which I had yet to finish. My access to the program was removed without cause, and my request for a refund has been completely ignored. In good faith, I even offer to remove my post so we could both move forward with goodwill. Instead, they chose to post this ridiculous reply.

I am happy to provide the physical exchanges to avoid future entrepreneurs from making the same mistake I did.

First, I accidentally found Launchpeer on Youtube, and right there, it felt right that I should engage them to help with my idea. Building the prototype was a great experience, the process was smooth and the communication was top-notch. My project manager, Krysten, was quick to respond to me and address my issues. Lastly, I felt like the designer could read my mind, see my vision and build exactly as I would have done myself. If you have an idea and you want to bring it to life, I highly recommend Launchpeer!

Launch Peer is legit! I am a college student and Launch Peer has gone above and beyond to get me to a final prototype. The hardworking design team was able to get the job done and I am so excited for the next part of my journey with this awesome company.

The team was so professional, responsive, and efficient in delivering the work. They've really made it such an easy process to bring my vision to life!

As a non-technical founder, working with Jake, Krysten, May, and the Launchpeer team to develop our prototype was the best decision we could have made! The team worked carefully with us every step of the way to curate our designs to the specs not only that we wanted, but also those we hadn't thought of. The team's communication, creativity, and speed was on full display and we are very happy with the results! Fully recommend.
