The Chicken and Egg Problem

Every entry-level job requires 2-3 years of experience. But how do you get experience if no one will hire you?

Launchpad breaks this cycle. We connect you with "Micro-Missions"—real, bite-sized projects from real companies that need your skills.

  • No "coffee run" internships.
  • Real work that goes on your resume.
  • Verified by CEOs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free for students?

Yes. Students never pay. Companies pay us to access the platform and find talent.

Are the missions paid?

No. The currency is experience and verified references. These are short-term educational projects designed to build your portfolio, not replace a job.

How long do missions take?

Most missions are scoped to take 15-20 hours of focused work over a 1-2 week period.
