Our Commercial Model

Two ways to work
with LAUNQ.

Whether you want to protect your runway or keep your cap table clean, LAUNQ has a structure that fits. Our SAFE equity track aligns us completely with your success — zero fees, pure partnership. Our paid track gives established companies the same expertise on a straightforward retainer.

Both tracks deliver the same four-pillar service: Growth Strategy, Business Development, Sales Process, and CRM Solutions. The only difference is how we get paid.

Choose Your Track

🟢 SAFE Equity Track
No fees, ever. LAUNQ takes equity via SAFE note and converts at your next funding round. Ideal for pre-seed and seed-stage startups protecting runway.
🟡 Paid Retainer Track
Monthly fee, zero equity. Full access to LAUNQ expertise without touching your cap table. Ideal for funded startups and growth-stage companies.
🔵 Hybrid Available
Smaller equity stake combined with a reduced retainer. Flexible structures are available for the right partnerships — ask us.

1
What is a SAFE note?

A Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) is a standard instrument used by top accelerators globally. It gives LAUNQ the right to convert our contribution into equity at your next funding round — at agreed, transparent terms.

2
What equity stake does LAUNQ take?

Terms are agreed individually based on scope, stage, and growth potential. We are transparent from the first conversation and never take a stake that compromises your future fundraising.

3
What if we do not raise a round?

We structure agreements to account for multiple exit scenarios. Your interests and ours are aligned throughout — we are here to create value, not extract it.

4
Is this right for my startup?

LAUNQ is ideal for incubator-stage and early-stage companies that need serious commercial muscle but cannot yet afford enterprise consulting fees. Apply and we will be honest if it is not the right fit.

Ready to LAUNQ?

Choose your track. Both deliver the same four-pillar expertise — strategy, BD, sales process, and CRM — plus AI literacy, community, and introductions.
