Building a Product-Based Business Comes with Challenges—But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone! At our recent Product Business Power Hour, founders came together to tackle roadblocks, exchange insights, and gain fresh perspectives with expert guidance from Susannah Jaffer, founder of ZERRIN. Here are some key takeaways from the session: 🔹 Retail Readiness – Barcodes can be tricky! While some retailers have their own systems, understanding barcoding early can help streamline distribution. 🔹 Standing Out in a Crowded Market – Differentiation is key! Strong branding and market research are essential for positioning your product effectively. 🔹 Navigating Distribution Challenges – Struggling to get your products into new markets? Consider video pitches for distributors and influencer marketing to boost brand awareness. 🔹 Sustainability, One Step at a Time – Launching a sustainable brand can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down into manageable steps and building strong supplier relationships can make all the difference. 🔹 Community & Collaboration Matter – Networking with fellow founders provides valuable insights and opportunities—like our upcoming breakfast session on 11 Apr (more info coming up soon) A huge thank you to Susannah and everyone who joined the discussion! If you're building a product-based business, keep an eye out for more dedicated programming and opportunities to connect at Launchpad. #Launchpad #ProductBusiness #Entrepreneurship #BrandStrategy #SustainableBusiness #SmallBusinessSupport

📊 How do you measure your marketing success? In our recent Google Analytics Masterclass with web analytics expert Carolyn James, we explored how to track and optimize marketing performance with data-driven insights. Here are some key takeaways: 🔹 Track What Matters – Use Google Analytics and Tag Manager to measure the right metrics for your business. 🔹 Know Your Audience – Segment data to personalize messaging for existing customers vs. new visitors. 🔹 Stay Compliant – Ensure your data collection aligns with privacy regulations and best practices. 🔹 Explore Alternatives – Consider privacy-friendly analytics tools and server-side tracking for better data accuracy. 🔹 Find the Right Balance – Leverage marketing data while respecting customer privacy to build trust. A big thank you to Carolyn for sharing her expertise and to everyone who joined us! Want to sharpen your marketing analytics skills? Stay tuned for more insightful sessions at Launchpad.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us last night for an evening of meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and genuine connections. 🙌✨ We tried something new – a short and sharp panel followed by breakout group discussions facilitated by our incredible speakers. And wow, the energy in the room was next level! 💥 ✅ New connections were made—between people who might never have crossed paths at a typical networking event. ✅ There was laughter, deep conversations, and even a few tears—real stories, real emotions, and real takeaways. ✅ Burning questions got answered—not just by one person, but through the power of groupthink. Most importantly, every single person was engaged, present, and exchanging value. No zoning out, no mid-event phone scrolling, just a room full of people connecting, learning, and giving. 💜🫶 To our brilliant panelists, Alya Annabi, ELIKA TASKER, Lavania Rosie, and Rebecca Downie – thank you for sharing your wisdom, experiences, and the magic that happens when people come together. You brought the heart and soul of commthe unity to life. 🎤👏 🍽️ A massive shoutout to our generous event sponsors: 🌯 Guzman Y Gomez for the delicious mini burrito bowls. 🍸 Free Spirits Asia for the amazing drinks that kept the conversations flowing. 🎂 And a special thank you to Amrita Dhillon for the sweet treats that added the perfect touch. A big thank you to our host, Megha Singh, for leading such a thoughtful discussion, and of course, to YOU – our Launchies & guests, for bringing the energy and making this event something special. 💛 Here’s to turning last night’s conversations into real action, real relationships, and real growth. Keep an eye out for more events like this, we can’t wait to do it all over again! 🗣️ #LaunchpadSG #EntrepreneurCommunity #NetworkingEvent #CommunityMatters #UnlockThePowerofCommunity #Membership

When your community shows up for the community that you are building ❤️ For my first networking event as the CEO of Launchpad, I had 2 goals: 1. Actively respond to our members' needs - the most asked question so far has been: how does one leverage Launchpad to receive maximum value - and by extension, other communities and networks that we are part of. This became the theme of our event. 2. To show the world that genuine collaboration is possible - there is a popular narrative out there that female founders, communities of female founders, women in general - are always competing, there is a lot of negativity, they can't work together - all of which I know from personal experience is not true! So I reached out to my people - Alya Annabi, ELIKA TASKER, Lavania Rosie and Rebecca Downie, shared my vision with them and asked them to do this panel event for me. They all said yes, immediately - and I am so so so grateful to them and for having them in my tribe 🙏 Last night what happened in the room was truly magical! We tried a new event format where a very short panel was followed by breakout group discussions facilitated by the panelists. ✅ New and genuine connections were made - amongst people who would normally not talk to each other at a networking event. ✅ There was laughter and tears as people shared openly and vulnerably - a real sense of catharsis. ✅ Participants received solutions to their burning questions - through the benefit of groupthink. Most importantly, everyone was engaged, interacting, giving and receiving value - rather than pulling out their phones half way through as usually happens at panel events! This is the true power of a thriving community! At Launchpad, every day we strive to live up to our slogan - Kind Heart, Bold Spirit. I truly believe that Ambition and Kindness can coexist and that is my North Star as I build and scale this community. Huge shoutout to my rockstars - Faherah Begam, Lord Dennis Joplin Acuña and the Trehaus events team - I threw them a curve ball with the new format and they just rolled with it to deliver "a seriously well executed event" as one of our members said! There is so much to do - I have a grand vision for Launchpad - and now I know for sure, I will pull it off because my community is rooting for me and is showing up for me 🙏
