Zen Launchpad began in 2013 with a vision that world-class innovation can happen in any community, with the right ecosystem and support systems in place. It also can start at a very young age... as young as Kindergarten kids... it can support working tech professionals and entrepreneurs, and it can successfully encompass retired or semi-retired tech industry veterans with so much to give back. It should be accessible to everyone, regardless of socio-economic circumstances, gender, neuro-diversity challenges or other potential barriers.

We have been able to operate efficiently by sharing common infrastructure, industrial equipment, and an exceptionally talented team of engineers, scientists, designers, and entrepreneurs.

For VCs, we can provide a quality deal flow of early-stage innovative ventures that have been vetted in a deeper way than is normally possible. We look for visionary founders with integrity, intelligence, and energy, who are focused on new, large, emerging markets that in many cases don't even exist yet today. We have a long-term view and are one of the few organizations that can assemble a talented team of entrepreneurs working on world-class technology solving an important problem.
