A community of entrepreneurs that are a force for good
With a small group of like-minded business founders, Mastermind is a 12-month program designed to provide consistent, commercial and motivational support to level up your business beyond imagination.
Being an entrepreneur can feel frustrating and isolating, with few peers in similar stages to share insights, shortcuts and ideas, or to provide feedback on your strategy. It’s also hard to get consistent support over a 12-month period without forking out huge coaching fees. This program addresses these challenges head-on, offering a robust tight-knit community of like-minded individuals who can provide invaluable, consistent support and guidance.
Beyond the tangible business growth you’ll experience, our goal is for your Mastermind group to serve as a constant source of motivation, inspiration and encouragement. Think of them as your personal cheer squad, ready to support you every step of the way.
If you’re eager to expand your business this year and tap into the collective knowledge and wisdom of seasoned entrepreneurs, then this program is tailor-made for you.
A purpose-built 12-month program, Mastermind creates belonging, connection and growth opportunities. It is designed for entrepreneurs that not only want to reach their fullest potential but also want to build a truly coveted brand.
Experience a game-changing transformation in your business with our year-long program. Here’s what you can expect if you join Mastermind:
✅ Get unstuck on key business decisions
✅ Work through your commercial business strategies
✅ Provide a sounding board for success
✅ Connect you with like-minded similar businesses
✅ Reduce the overwhelm that comes with running your own business
✅ Help you prioritise and be accountable
It is a year-long program that creates an unofficial board of directors for your business, to help you steer your business to success. This opportunity offers a way to level up beyond your imagination. It’s how to access thinking outside of your own, how to access support from people who have done it before, and how to see different perspectives that can radically shift your business.
The Mastermind facilitators are seasoned entrepreneurs who either have a speciality skill in marketing, facilitation or business coaching. Their role is to provide advice and support, and facilitate the group dynamics to foster trust, connection, and the perfect environment. The Mastermind facilitators have first-hand business experience, a proven track record and sparkly high-vibes personalities.

They will be held in Singapore, Hong Kong, Bali, Sydney and Byron Bay. We strongly recommend attending in person if you are in any of these locations. We believe that IRL is very powerful for developing deep connections and deep understanding.
But of course, we have members living elsewhere, so we will have virtual Zoom Masterminds for members outside these locations.
We match business founders based on their business stage and size, their business goals, and their business strengths. We will also be asking you for your nominations of peers you would like in your group after you have attended the in-person Mastermind networking group, so you can help guide us as to who you would benefit from having in your group.
No, it is free to apply. Only if you are selected will there be a fee.
Unfortunately not. We cannot share the group's details before we start, logistically it is not possible.
If you believe that your business would benefit from the wisdom of a small group of entrepreneurs who deeply understand and care about you and business, and you are willing to do the work, then you will most likely get multiple returns on this investment.
No, unfortunately not. We will do our very best to accommodate you based on your business size, stage, industry, and personal preferences. But we can’t accommodate changes.
You can give feedback on anything to your facilitator or the Launchpad team.
Unfortunately not. All the facilitators have been hand-picked and are excellent resources and experienced business owners.
You will have your Mastermind to network with, and the wider Launchpad group at our regularly monthly events.
The annual dinner will be held in Singapore, Sydney and Byron Bay and all members of the Masterminds are invited to attend either dinner. If you are not based in either location, then travel costs will be at your cost. As this is the first year, we expect this Mastermind to grow year on year and in future years, we will have dinners in multiple locations. But it depends on enrollments and demands in other locations.
