Love how fast @drewdil is moving Burb forward! From a baby idea when we met in On Deck to blowing up the paid community space! πŸš€ indeed!

@drewdil @chrismessina the best community leaders are people-people not tech-people. This is the first step in supporting the next evolution of community first business leaders.

@drewdil This looks amazing. Congrats on the launch! Are there plans for Web3 integration? Unlock Protocol could be an easy way to bridge if not. I'm involved w/ a few projects and a couple of DAOs and something like this would cover a lot of needs. I scanned through the comments so apologies if I'm asking something that's already been addressed.

@scottwwilliams Thanks Scott!! It's all credit card / Stripe for now, but we'll be expanding providers. s/o to @timfalls for pointing us towards Unlock a while back.
Scott Williams
@drewdil Thanks for the quick response. Will definitely track LbB to stay in the loop. And @timfalls are you with Unlock Protocol? If so, I know Patrick (met him in the CPG-POP community).
Tim Falls
@drewdil love the looks of Launch -- focus on simplicity and cross-platform movement is πŸ‘Œ ...just requested early access for @climatefriends_, as we're planning some migrations. @scottwwilliams I worked with the Unlock team (including Patrick) earlier this year and am now still an active community member and use the protocol for my primary side project (Climate Frens) -- they're all awesome people, and I totally agree Unlock could potentially fit in nicely with Launch!

Will this work on static website ? Let's say I am having a HTML or react website and i want to show specific page to user once they buy the membership plan, will this be possible?
drew dillon
@pratap_tech Not quite yet, but that's maybe an hour of work from where the product is. Will add the feature request!
Anil Meena
This looks fantastic. We were also planning to launch something similar in our product, but now looking at this I think we can collaborate on this. How can we register our app to be part of this system?
drew dillon
@anil_meena21 Oh awesome, I have to check Pensil out! Do you have a membership API?

Thanks to @chrismessina for hunting our launch of Launch πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€ Over the past couple of years, we've connected with thousands of folks who are passionate about building communities and launching membership programs. One thing we've heard over and over again is that it can be really challenging to wrangle all the technology involved in running a membership program - creating landing pages, setting up billing, and finding the right gathering space for your community. That's why we built Launch.

Launch Your Membership In Minutes, Not Months

Launch is a simple and user-friendly platform that makes it easy to launch and run successful membership programs. With Launch, you can create beautiful and mobile-friendly landing pages, easily set up billing, and gather your members wherever works best for you. This means you can focus on building your membership and providing value to your members, without worrying about the technical details. No complicated automation tools or threat of platform lock-in.

Beta open today!

We're really excited to be launching Launch on Product Hunt and we hope you'll check it out πŸ™ We have a waitlist up to handle flow and will be moving people off the list as quickly as possible. Join the the waitlist today for our lowest fees for life (1% + ~3.5% to Stripe). We're looking forward to hearing your feedback and seeing what you build with Launch!

@chrismessina @drewdil Wow, that makes it sound so easy to manage a successful membership program with Launch!
Rissy Miranda
It never fails to amaze me how ideas on making things simpler and on mobile is becoming possible. All the best to your Launch @drewdil and team!

@rissy_miranda Totally, love that. Thanks Rissy!!!
Espree Devora πŸŽ™
I think this is going to truly solve a pain for community builders globally. Community builders deserve to get paid!!!! Love that with Launch the groups we have can be portable so we’re not attached to one platform. And to that point so cool that we can keep membership subscribers organized on the back end no matter the platform we use. The ability to have recurring payments is huge. Sometimes I get so stuck when I can only set up one time payments. Excited for Launch πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€
drew dillon
@espreedevora Thanks Espree!! Your enthusiasm the first time I showed you the concept was really validating.

Puneet Kohli
Even if @chrismessina hadn't hunted this, I'd put my vote! I have looked for multiple solutions like yours and often-times faced the issue of vendor lock in and what not making it not compelling vs rolling out our own solution for memberships. Your approach is great and super excited to check it out!
drew dillon
@chrismessina @puneet_kohli Wow, thanks so much for the kind words Puneet πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š

Product looks cool. Would work on the website because the dimensions look funny on desktop and on mobile.

Launch by Burb simplifies your life as community/audience manager. Think of a (still limited) subset of Gumroad automations. While you could go and set up integrations, reporting, ... via n8n and alike. It bridges the countless gaps nearly all communities SaaS platforms share: Lack of LandingPage (which I couldnt find and likely is WIP) and, for now, the abillity to segment your existing userbase. However, the core functionality is focused on automations. Overall, its on my watch list and once the following topics can be tested and its safe to assume this plattform came to stay, I am very interested utilizing it. ToDo: - GTM Strategy (incl. messaging is unclear) - Price Tag for current feature set is off limit - EU VAT & legal compliant invoicing is not negotiatable and a KO criteria for likely any serious business - If possible; I'd want the bot to post/contacf/DM using my account/ a service account rather using "Bot" (I still would inform receipients that the message is automated but automation + impersonation of the sender is a NoGo for me)
