How Launchpad Works
Invest in promising European startups and businesses in four simple steps.
Step 1
Discover
Browse vetted investment campaigns across industries. Filter by category, funding stage, or location to find opportunities that match your interests.
Step 2
Research
Review detailed business plans, financial projections, team backgrounds, and due diligence documents. Every campaign is verified by our team.
Step 3
Invest
Start from as little as €50. Funds are held in escrow until the campaign reaches its minimum threshold. If it doesn't, you get a full refund.
Step 4
Track & Grow
Monitor your portfolio with real-time updates. Receive milestone reports, financial statements, and exit notifications from your investments.
