Lead with a live website or working prototype, not a promise that no one can evaluate.
INTRODUCING HATCHIO LAUNCHPADEARLY ACCESS
Build it with Hatchio.Put it in front of the right people.
Your next step after building the business: a place to showcase what you have made and connect with potential investors, co-founders and strategic partners.
We’re assembling the first cohort now. Listings and introductions will be opt-in.
WHY LAUNCHPAD
Not another directory full of ideas.
A strong introduction starts with something tangible. Hatchio helps founders research the market, shape the business, create launch materials and build a website. Launchpad is designed to help them put that work in front of the people who can move it forward.
A business behind the product
Bring the business model, customer problem, stage and next milestone into one clear profile.
A specific ask
Tell people whether you are looking for capital, a co-founder, a pilot customer, a mentor or a strategic partner.
TWO SIDES. ONE USEFUL NETWORK.
Built for founders. Useful for investors.
Launchpad is being designed around a simple exchange: founders present the most relevant evidence, and investors or partners can find ventures that fit what they are looking for.
FOR FOUNDERS
Make your work easier to discover.
Build and publish the business first. Then choose whether to showcase it on Launchpad, what information to share, and which kinds of introductions you want.
- Show the product people can actually open
- Explain the business, stage and next milestone
- Say clearly what help you are looking for
FOR INVESTORS & PARTNERS
Find a clearer view of what’s being built.
Discover startups by sector, stage and needs, then request a relevant introduction. We’re building the early network before opening the directory.
- Discover projects by sector, stage and geography
- Review a live site alongside a business summary
- Request an introduction without exposing personal details
FROM IDEA TO INTRODUCTION
A natural next step after building.
Launchpad extends Hatchio’s existing workflow instead of asking founders to start from zero on another platform.
Start building with Hatchio- 01
Build the business
Research the opportunity, map the model and create launch materials with Hatchio’s AI team.
- 02
Publish the website
Give people something tangible to visit, review and understand.
- 03
Choose to showcase it
The intended flow is opt-in: founders decide whether and how their startup appears publicly.
- 04
Make relevant connections
Request introductions to potential investors, co-founders, customers and partners as Launchpad opens.
TRUST BY DESIGN
Signal over hype. Permission over exposure.
A startup network only works when both sides can trust what they see. These are the principles guiding Launchpad’s first release.
Opt-in visibility
Publishing a website will not automatically publish its founder profile.
Clear stage labels
Distinguish an idea, prototype, MVP and launched business instead of blurring them together.
Controlled introductions
Use introduction requests rather than displaying private contact details on a public page.
Relevant connections
Match needs and interests instead of turning the experience into cold-message spam.
THE FIRST COHORT
Help shape what Launchpad becomes.
We’re speaking with founders building real products and investors or partners who want to discover promising early-stage ventures. Register your interest and tell us what would make Launchpad useful to you.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Hatchio Launchpad FAQ
What is Hatchio Launchpad?
Hatchio Launchpad is an upcoming discovery space for startups built with Hatchio. Founders will be able to opt in to showcase a business, its live website, stage and goals, and request introductions to relevant investors and partners.
Is the startup directory open now?
Not yet. Hatchio is assembling the first cohort of founders, investors and strategic partners before opening public startup listings. You can register interest using the contact form on this page.
Do I need a live website to apply?
A live website or working prototype will make a startup profile more useful, but early-stage founders can register interest while they build. Public listing is intended to be opt-in.
Can Hatchio guarantee investment or introductions?
No. Launchpad is designed to support discovery and introductions. It cannot guarantee investor interest, funding, customers or business outcomes.
Will Hatchio process investments?
The initial concept focuses on startup discovery and introductions, not investment transactions. Any regulated investment activity would require appropriate legal review and authorised arrangements.
