LaunchPad

Hey Product Hunt Gang! I'm the founder of LaunchPad, and I want to tell you how this thing came to be — because the story matters. I kept seeing the same pattern over and over. Smart, driven people with real potential, stuck on the sidelines because they believed they needed a $100,000 MBA before they could start a business. Meanwhile, the free stuff out there was either too scattered to be useful or so watered down it was basically motivational quotes dressed up as education. There was nothing in the middle. No serious, structured business education that a normal person could afford and access from their phone. That frustrated me. Deeply. So I decided to build the thing I wished existed. There was just one problem — I'm not a developer. I don't have a computer science degree. I had no technical co-founder and no budget for a dev team. What I did have was an idea, stubbornness, and access to AI tools. I built the entire app — screens, a website, database, payment processing, user auth, an influencer referral programme — using AI as my coding partner. The process humbled me. I started thinking I'd have a simple learning app with a few lessons. That evolved into dozens of business concepts organised across five pillars: Value Creation, Marketing, Sales, Value Delivery, and Finance. Then I thought — reading isn't enough, people need to practise — so I built a 150-stage business simulator where you make real decisions and face real consequences. Every step of building this thing changed what I thought was possible. 290 commits later, here we are. LaunchPad is free to start — 20 concepts, no credit card, no tricks. Premium unlocks all 200+ concepts, the full simulator, and business blueprint templates. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee because I genuinely believe in what we've built. This isn't for people who want a certificate to hang on a wall. It's for people who want to understand how business actually works so they can go build something real. Whether you're in Birmingham or Bangalore, Lagos or Lima — if you've got a phone and the drive to learn, LaunchPad is for you. I'd love your feedback. Tear it apart if you need to — that's how it gets better. Thanks for checking it out.
