A Message From Our Founder

The Story Behind Guest Funding

The beauty of experiential hospitality is in the human connection it creates, and that's the principle LaunchBoom was built on.

Back in 2013, a few friends and I were running a digital marketing agency out of a garage when our friend Kevin asked us to help crowdfund his product, the EcoQube. We knew next to nothing about Kickstarter, but we put our heads together and said yes.

Nothing prepared us for what happened next: the campaign raised $79,026. Kevin's life changed overnight, and we were hooked.

Kevin also owned Airbnbs, and he wondered: could this work for lodging? So we tested it, 30 times over now, proving crowdfunding doesn't just work for hospitality. It helps it thrive.

Today, we've helped developers generate $14M+ in pre-bookings, giving them room to do what they do best: create intentional spaces for people to come together.

This is our dream job, and we want to help you create yours. Whether you're launching an eco retreat, a stargazing villa, or another unique stay, we're here to help.
