Founded in 2020, Launchpad builds proprietary AI-driven robotics platforms that automate complex assembly tasks and aim to cut the time and cost of deploying automation by roughly 50%. Its systems help small- and mid-sized manufacturers overcome labor shortages by orchestrating optimal human-robot collaboration on the factory floor. The company operates from offices in Los Angeles and Edinburgh, where it recently opened an R&D center to deepen its technology stack. Launchpad’s solutions are already installed in factories across the United States and Europe, and management plans to accelerate rollout to additional customers in those regions. Fresh capital will be directed toward product development and scaling customer support to meet rising demand. Including its new equity financing and prior grant support, Launchpad has secured $13.5 million in total external funding to date, giving it a solid balance sheet for its next phase of growth.
