We Want Your Honest Feedback — Help Us Build a Better Launchpad
Hey everyone,
First of all — thank you. Whether you've dropped in on a Day Pass, settled into a dedicated desk on Pro, or joined us for one of our events, you're part of what makes Launchpad what it is. This community exists because of the founders, freelancers, and builders who show up here every day, and we don't take that lightly.
We've been heads-down building — the space, the membership tiers, the events programme, the member portal, the blog, the Discussions board, and most recently The Startup Club newsletter. But honestly? The best product decisions we can make won't come from us sitting in a room. They'll come from you.
So we're opening the floor.
A Few Things We'd Love Your Thoughts On
To get the conversation going, here are some specific areas where your feedback would be incredibly useful:
The Space Itself
Is Hillary House working for you? Are there times of day when it feels too busy or too quiet? Anything about the layout, the amenities, or the vibe that you'd change?Membership & Pricing
Do the Day Pass, Flex, Pro, and Corporate tiers feel right? Is there a use case you have that none of them quite fits? We want the plans to reflect how people actually work — so if something feels off, tell us.Events
Are the events we're running useful to you? Are there formats, topics, or speakers you'd love to see? The Supabase meetup was a brilliant example of what this community can pull together — what's next?The Member Portal
We've built a portal for members to manage their membership, access bookings, and stay connected. What's missing? What would make it more useful day-to-day?Community & Connections
One of the core promises of Launchpad is that it helps you meet the right people. Are we delivering on that? Are there structured ways we could do more to connect members with each other — or with mentors, investors, and the wider Isle of Man business ecosystem?The Discussions Board
You're reading this on it right now. Is it useful? Should it be more active? What kind of conversations would you want to have here?Anything Else
Seriously — if there's something on your mind that we haven't asked about, this is the place. We'd rather hear the hard thing than not hear it at all.
Reply directly to this post with whatever's on your mind — long or short, structured or stream of consciousness, glowing or critical. All of it is welcome and all of it gets read.
If you'd prefer to share something privately, you can always reach us at launchpad@libt.co.uk.
We'll be collating the feedback over the coming weeks and sharing back what we're planning to act on. This isn't a box-ticking exercise — we genuinely want to build something the Isle of Man startup community is proud of, and we can't do that without knowing what's working and what isn't.
Thank you in advance. Now — don't hold back.
