LaunchNotes delights product leaders with powerful, frictionless ways to communicate product evolution, connect with customers, and drive an unmatched user experience.

Values

Don’t just deliver; delight!

We exist for and because of our customers and seek out daily opportunities to delight them. Going above and beyond is our default.

Open doors

Approachability—among our team, for our customers, and throughout the product—empowers everyone and is an unstoppable competitive advantage.

Seek first to understand

Pride is concerned with who is right, humility is concerned with what is right. The combination of high competency and low ego leads to remarkable outcomes.

Struggle together, win together

We fail fast and learn quickly, and always as a team. We are all owners equally responsible for the success of one another, our customers, our product, and our business.

Always be celebrating

Behind every great achievement is a collection of individual contributions worthy of recognition. We value these contributions, and the individuals behind each, as much as the result.

Our story

The founding team of LaunchNotes brings together over 20 years of collective experience in the software industry, spanning various aspects of the product development lifecycle, including Engineering, Support, Marketing, Growth, and Sales.
While rapid software delivery and enhanced uptime are vital, we’ve learned from experience that building a successful product, and consequently a successful business, demands much more. Ensuring robust code reaches customers is crucial, but this must not compromise an exceptional customer experience.
LaunchNotes was developed to empower entire organizations to align with their development teams, regardless of the software delivery pace. Envision a heightened user experience that emerges from having a singular system of record for every product change. This is a unified tool that ensures all teams, both technical and non-technical, remain in sync, even when software updates are dispatched multiple times a day.
‍Designed to consistently provide customer-facing teams with the resources they need to excel and continuously delight customers, LaunchNotes ensures that the right updates reach the right people at precisely the right time, preventing any surprises from product changes for anyone, internally or externally.
It serves as a comprehensive platform where everyone can find the vital information and context they need about product changes - past, present, and future.
