LaunchPad Lab is a Chicago digital product firm that makes tech a competitive advantage. We build web apps, mobile apps, portals, and AI agents off-the-shelf software can't, deployed on modern infrastructure so you ship faster and stay in control.
Everything we build runs through Nova, our AI-native delivery model: AI generates production code, senior teams shape, review, and ship it, and clients pay for outcomes rather than hours. The result is faster delivery, predictable cost, and technology shaped around the business. As a SOC 2-compliant firm, we build to enterprise security and privacy standards from day one, which matters for the regulated and large-scale clients we serve.
We use Render to deploy and scale those products without the DevOps overhead of AWS or GCP, especially for Ruby on Rails, React, Node.js, and Python applications, and increasingly for AI-powered products with heavy background processing.
"They understood our challenges and worked with us to get the outcomes we needed. Ultimately, we reached and surpassed our goals. Our franchises are saving millions of dollars; adoption is above 97% (with a baseline of around 80%), with a customer effort score average at 4.5 out of 5. This led to extending LPL far beyond the original scope as our pilot went to scale. LPL was well able to continue to support us. Our business wouldn’t be where it is today without them."
Render and LaunchPad Lab
Render gives our teams the speed and flexibility to ship better products without the complexity of managing cloud infrastructure, so every project moves faster from day one.
- Zero-configuration deployment. Web services, static sites, workers, cron jobs, and managed PostgreSQL from one platform. No server, networking, or SSL setup: connect a Git repo and Render handles the rest.
- Preview environments on every pull request. Each PR spins up a full-stack environment (databases and background services included), allowing stakeholders to review changes before they ship.
- Autoscaling for traffic spikes. Render scales on real-time load, absorbing 100x bursts automatically, with usage-based pricing so you never pay for idle capacity.
- Enterprise security and compliance. SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and GDPR, with DDoS protection, private networking, encryption at rest, and role-based access built in.
- Built for AI. Long-running workers, durable workflow orchestration, and managed PostgreSQL with pgvector for RAG, without the egress fees or multi-cloud complexity of hyperscalers.
