Hey Product Hunt! 👋🏿 We're excited to share the Paddle Launchpad Alumni Showcase with you today! 💛 At Paddle, we’ve been on a mission to empower AI startups to turn ideas into revenue, and now we're thrilled to showcase the success stories from our Launchpad alumni. Our AI Launchpad program has already incubated over 175 startups from 50+ countries with the support of 25+ partners like AWS, Google Cloud, SaaStock, and more. Through six weeks of immersive learning, founder huddles, and expert masterclasses, our participants gain access to a wealth of resources and a global community that continues long after the program ends. Highlights of the program include: - 75 open seats for the upcoming cohort. - A $20,000 cash prize on Demo Day to help accelerate growth. - Lifelong community access to mentors, peers, and industry leaders. The Alumni Showcase is a curated collection of these rising AI stars, highlighting their journeys from ideas to revenue-generating companies. From startups like Virtual Staging AI, which scaled from $20K to $200K MRR, to SiteGPT reaching $200K in revenue, these founders are redefining what’s possible in the AI space. 🤯 Applications for the next cohort are now open! If you’re building in the AI space and ready to scale your startup, we’d love for you to join us.

It has been an amazing experience for us with great sessions from experts such as Patrick Campbell, Christian Owens, KP and Tharshan among many others. We incorporated many of the suggestions and advice given, be it from presenters, the Paddle team, or fellow founders. The Slack community with other founders is great and everyone is very supportive. Big shout out to KP and Tharshan for always being present in the Slack community and supporting the founders.

I went through the Paddle launchpad, and it was incredibly valuable. An amazing network of peers, super valuable workshops on topics like pricing & GTM, and of course some great mentorship from KP and the likes. Highly recommend applying!!

It was a great opportunity for me and my startup to realize that I'm not just a neighborhood weirdo. And even if I am, there are plenty of people like me around the globe who are grinding for the sake of innovation too. Great job, Paddle team, and keep going! 💪

I went through the Paddle Launchpad. It was a great decision. We had access to peers, mentors, and knowledge sessions that rival an accelerator. All without giving up equity. The program completed a few months ago and we're still enjoying the benefits of the wonderful network today.

We got loads of value from completing the Paddle AI Launchpad, would highly recommend. The community is brilliant and the Paddle team go the extra mile to support all the founders, both during and after the programme. They've ramped up the programme frequency since the inaugural cohort last year, so the community is growing, along with the perks and expertise offered by the programme.

We went though the recent Paddle AI Launchpad. Sessions: no-fluff and high-quality. Perks: decent and growing. Community: something special ✨

I had a blast in the H1 2024 AI Launchpad, and I learned a lot from high profile experts. And it was all free! I would recommend this program to any entrepreneur looking to grow their start-up or to learn more about marketing, sales and distribution.
