Software and AI engineering, under one roof.
Launch Ventures helps companies build, launch and scale software products and AI systems. We deliver through AI and agentic engineering, product engineering, and dedicated teams that we manage for you. Polyglot teams pick the right stack for the product, and stay accountable from first commit to scale.
What does an AI engineering partner actually build?
Production AI: LLM features inside your product, retrieval over your own data, and agents that act in your systems through the Model Context Protocol. Built by 15+ Anthropic-certified architects, with evaluation suites, guardrails and human approval before anything reaches a customer.
- AI product features: copilots, search, summarisation, document AI
- Agentic workflows on ERPs, CRMs and inboxes
- AI architecture, model selection and cost control
- Evals, red-teaming and observability
SimMed: dual-engine AI oral-board simulator, concept to launch
Public Support: AI agents inside an EA productivity platform
Build. Launch. Scale.
Most products stall at a handoff: the agency that built it isn't the team that runs it, and neither is ready to scale it. We stay with the product through all three stages.
Build
Turn the idea into a product worth launching.
Design the product experience
Evidence-based UX: research, prototypes and high-fidelity UI tested with real users.
Deliver a valuable product
The right technology for the product, with development aligned to business strategy.
AI engineered in
LLM features, retrieval and agents designed into the architecture from the first sprint.
Validated MVP or v1, architecture you can grow on, a backlog to launch. Proof: SimMed, Box8, Alpha Coach
Launch
Ship with confidence, then keep shipping.
Scale and maintain infrastructure
Deploy features effortlessly and maintain the toolchain for continuous delivery.
Implement mature processes
Best practices that let you build and improve software at a sustainable pace.
Launch-ready quality
Security, performance and accessibility review; evals and guardrails on every AI feature.
A live product, CI/CD pipeline, monitoring and a release rhythm your team can keep. Proof: Takeda MedUnifi, Arrival Care
Scale
Grow users, data and team without the wheels coming off.
Engineer data analytics and insights
Metrics, data warehouses and visualisation tools for performance feedback and action.
Modernise and harden
Refactor legacy code, improve performance and close security gaps as load grows.
Grow the team, add agents
Add a dedicated team managed by us, and use Launch Agents to remove operating bottlenecks.
A platform that holds under growth, and a team that owns it. Proof: The Wire 200 → 500K daily users, KOKO 50M
A dedicated team, managed by us.
We offer dedicated teams of engineers, designers and product people who work only on your product. We hire them, lead them and keep them at their best, so you get the output of a high-performing team without the cost and distraction of building one from scratch.
Yours, full-time.
A team that works only on your product, in your tools and your rituals. You set the priorities, and you own everything we build.
Managed delivery.
A delivery lead runs sprints, standups and reporting, so you get progress you can see every week without managing people day to day.
Hand-picked people.
Every engineer is interviewed and vetted by our senior architects, then matched to your stack, your domain and your pace.
Quality built in.
Code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD and security practices from day one, backed by the playbook behind 100+ products.
Continuity, guaranteed.
If someone moves on, we replace them with a proper handover. Your roadmap doesn’t stall while you rehire.
AI-native by default.
Our engineers ship with Claude and agentic tooling, guided by Claude-certified architects, so your team moves faster from week one.
Build your team. See the budget.
Pick the roles you need, the seniority mix and how long you need the team. We’ll show an indicative monthly budget for a managed team.
- Delivery lead and weekly reporting
- Hiring, onboarding and replacements
- Code review, QA and CI/CD
- HR, payroll, equipment and workspace
- Architecture guidance from our seniors
- Your IP, your repos, your tools
*Indicative ranges for planning only, not a quote. Final pricing depends on each person’s skills and seniority, the mix of roles and the scope of the engagement. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll send a firm proposal.
Services, answered.
Which technologies do you use?
Whatever fits the product. Our polyglot teams work across modern front-end, mobile, server-side, cloud and AI stacks, including Claude and MCP.
How fast can a team start?
A dedicated team can start in as little as two weeks. We agree the roles with you, match the people and run onboarding, so the first sprint begins soon after.
Who owns the IP?
You do. Our agreements are work-for-hire: the software, source code and documentation we build for you belong to you.
