LaunchOS guides early-stage founders through stage-gated problem validation, Mom Test customer discovery, and high-intent pretotyping—ensuring you never build what nobody wants.
Built on battle-tested frameworks from YC, Sequoia, and Stanford d.school.
Click a phase to preview how LaunchOS agents keep founders honest—from founder fit through smoke-test pretotyping.
Phase 1: Founder Fit
Stress-test founder-problem fit before you fall in love with a solution.
Phase 2: Unbiased Discovery
Mom Test scripts + interview synthesis without solution bias.
Phase 3: RAT & Lean Canvas
Riskiest Assumption Tests mapped onto a living Lean Canvas.
Phase 4: Smoke Test Pretotyping
High-intent pretotypes that measure demand before you write product code.
Phase 2: Unbiased Discovery
Mom Test scripts + interview synthesis without solution bias.
LaunchOS Agent
You logged 12 discovery interviews, but only 4 mention a hair-on-fire pain. Phase 3 stays locked.
Can we start scaffolding the MVP anyway? I already sketched the architecture.
Stage-gate rule: 30+ validated pain signals required. Coding unlocks after Phase 2 evidence clears the threshold. Want me to draft the next Mom Test script?
LaunchOS removes the three failure modes that kill early startups before product-market fit.
Strips fake problems and isolates true 'hair on fire' customer pain.
Agent drafts discovery scripts and synthesizes interview transcripts without solution bias.
Blocks premature coding until 30+ validated customer pain signals are logged.
LaunchOS operationalizes founder frameworks into enforceable workspace rules—so progress is earned with evidence, not optimism.
Problem validation first
Every sprint starts with pain evidence, not feature ideas.
Mom Test by default
Scripts and synthesis reject compliments, hypotheticals, and leading questions.
Pretotype before prototype
Demand signals unlock build work. Code is a privilege, not a starting point.
