Launchpads

Launchpads is an AI product studio founded by women entrepreneurs, specializing in the creation of agentic AI tools for organizations that operate with a societal mission. Rather than offering generic software, Launchpads designs and builds custom AI-native products that replace outdated, slow internal systems. The studio addresses a specific pain point: mission-driven teams often rely on legacy infrastructure that cannot keep pace with their need for speed, automation, and data-driven decision-making. For example, generating a standard report might take an entire team several weeks using traditional tools, but Launchpads’ AI agents can collapse that timeline dramatically, pulling data, analyzing trends, and presenting actionable insights in near real-time. The studio’s approach is hands-on and product-centric. They do not sell a one-size-fits-all platform; instead, they work directly with clients to understand their workflows, data sources, and operational bottlenecks. Then they build lightweight, AI-native applications that integrate seamlessly into existing processes. These products are already deployed in production environments, meaning they are not proof-of-concept experiments but functional tools that deliver measurable results. The founder, Marta Strykowska, emphasizes a female-led perspective in technology development, bringing diverse leadership to an industry often dominated by homogeneous teams. Launchpads serves organizations in sectors such as nonprofit, education, public health, climate action, and social enterprise. For a nonprofit managing donor relationships and grant reporting, Launchpads might create an AI assistant that automatically categorizes donations, forecasts funding gaps, and drafts compliance documents. For a climate research institute, the
