Having a great business idea is the easy part. Turning it into a real, visible business is where many entrepreneurs get stuck. Launch Pad is our answer to that.

Launch Pad is a 6ft5 Media initiative that helps aspiring entrepreneurs and young businesses get the digital tools, technology and resources they need to move from idea to business. You don’t need technical knowledge. We help with the setup and show you how to use each tool.

What you get

• A professional website. 6ft5 Media designs and builds it around your business, services and brand, including contact forms and a mobile-friendly layout.
• Social media, managed in one place. We set up your profiles and connect them to AutoPost, so you can create, schedule and publish content from one dashboard.
• Customer communication. AutoEngage helps you manage conversations with customers over WhatsApp, email, Telegram and SMS.
• An online store. The Plug House lets customers browse your products and place orders online.

What does it cost?

Eligible participants receive the programme’s services free for the first 12 months. After that, AutoPost and AutoEngage are available at a special discounted rate for Launch Pad participants. The Plug House online store is always free.

Who is it for?

Young entrepreneurs, start-ups, small businesses, creators and anyone with a business idea who wants to establish or grow online.
