Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Launch House reimagines the basements and dorm rooms where mega-brands like Google, Amazon and Apple were conceived, with a Beverly Hills-based house where start-up entrepreneurs live under one roof, learning and building from one another, before launching their products into the world. With a rigorous application process, Launch House strives to exclusively recruit exceptional talent.
The founders are well positioned within the tech industry, previously working for companies like Airbnb, Uber, Commsor and Google. This expertise coupled with a grasp on the future, creating a community that marries venture capital with influence culture – members are even encouraged to share their progress via Launch House’s Instagram and TikTok – marks an innovative response to where the industry is heading in the internet age.
Launch House recently announced a venture arm, House Capital, along with a debut fund, the returns from which will go back into Launch House itself, enabling the development of stronger programming and improving member experience. Moving forward, we can expect to see Launch House expand its residency across the globe, and perhaps witness the birth of a new tech phenomenon.
