Selecting Founders
We’ve designed our recruitment processes to level the playing field for entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds, genders, ages, abilities, and sexualities. Our Founders Recruitment Process fosters outreach to diverse communities of underrepresented founders and removes common sources of bias through inclusive, merit-based team selection.

We are committed to building diverse teams and encourage behaviors that support inclusive startup growth. We do not allow discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, age, sexual identity, or any other form of identity from our employees and portfolio company founders.

How our model works
Internal Business Ideas
We source and develop business concepts both internally and through partnerships. These ideas receive in-depth due diligence to identify the most promising opportunities, which then become the foundations of our new companies.
Funding
Launch Factory invests $300k into each of its companies. These funds establish the business and allow the company to grow and develop before its next round of funding.
Connections
We help founders network with the right people at the right time. Each of our startups benefits from a compensated team of advsors. Founders may hope for a partner or cofounder – Launch Factory gives them an army.
Outside Investment
Launch Factory’s expert advisors support founders when it’s time to raise outside funding. We help build relationships with key investors, navigate deal terms, and ultimately close the round.
Founder Selection
We select founders to launch our companies through our Founders Selection Process, in which teams of two entrepreneurs work together to demonstrate their ability to start and lead one of our new companies.
Incubation
We form and incubate a small number of companies each year so we can work very closely with each of them. We provide proven processes and tools to operate efficiently and effectively, while coaching teams to become the best founders they can be.
Space to Grow
Each Launch Factory company is given dedicated space in our San Diego office. Our collaborative workspace surrounds founders with likeminded people and a positive, growth-oriented environment as they develop their new company.
