About us
We’re building the calm way to ship software
Launch is an independent, profitable company of 48 people across 14 countries. We make tools for teams who care about the craft of shipping.
Our story
Before Launch, Maya and Daniel ran product and engineering at a fast-growing startup. Every Friday they spent hours stitching together roadmaps, tickets and release notes from five different tools.
They built a small internal tool to connect it all. Within a year, friends at other companies were asking to use it. In 2019 they made it official.
Today Launch helps more than 4,000 teams plan and ship, and we still use it to build Launch every day.

Our values
What we believe
Respect attention
Every notification has to earn its place. Calm software makes better products.
Speed is a feature
If it takes more than 100 ms, it is a bug. We sweat performance so you do not wait.
Default to open
Public roadmap, public changelog, open salaries. We build the transparency we sell.
Small teams, big ownership
Teams of four own a problem end to end, from first sketch to release note.
The team
The people behind Launch
A small, senior team that answers support tickets as often as it writes code.
