Our story
During the late 90's, my best friend (and now co-founder) Jennifer and I programmed for a variety of startups in Silicon Valley, where we grew up. It was an exciting time to be high schoolers on innovative new products and ideas. But, all too often, we saw a lot of startups fail, because they did not have enough customers.
Today, we work with hundreds of fantastic companies ranging from small startups to Fortune 500 companies. We are backed by an amazing set of investors from Silicon Valley and are proud to work with a great team. We'd love to get to know you. Drop us a line at hello [at] launchbit.com.
