The Launchpad — New Zealand
Turn AI intoa second income
Two starting points. Turn your skills into an AI-powered second income, or automate the business you already run — we do the heavy lifting.
Free to try. No card. Validated opportunity hypotheses — not guaranteed income.
How it works
From a few answers to a real plan.
Answer 8 questions
One quick decision per screen — your goal, strengths, interests, assets, constraints, and style.
See your X-Ray and DNA
We surface the strengths and unfair advantages you may not realise you have, plus your Opportunity DNA.
Get your top 3 paths
Three meaningfully different income paths, each scored for fit, speed, and AI leverage.
Build the GTM plan
Open any path for an offer, pricing, tool stack, outreach scripts, and a first 30-day plan.
The engine behind your three paths.
A curated opportunity library
Not made up on the spot. Launchpad matches you against a hand-built catalog of AI capability modules and opportunity templates.
Deterministic scoring
Every path is scored on skill fit, domain advantage, interest, time and budget, demand, AI leverage, speed, distribution, credibility, and risk.
Diversity by design
Your top 3 are deliberately different — one fastest to start, one with the most long-term upside, one closest to what you enjoy.
Honest by default
Hard filters remove paths your budget, time, or constraints rule out. Results are validated hypotheses to test — never guaranteed income.
Including the automation that does the heavy lifting.
A real example
This is what you get back.
A clinic admin with eight spare hours a week and a local network gets matched to this — in seconds.

What Launchpad gives you
More than a career quiz.
AI Career X-Ray
Enter your current role and Launchpad surfaces the hidden, transferable, and monetisable strengths you may not realise you have.
Opportunity DNA
A visual fingerprint of how you like to work — builder or advisor, creator or operator, local or online — and the archetype it points to.
A real go-to-market plan
Every path opens into an offer, pricing ladder, AI tool stack, outreach scripts, a hand-drawn automation flow, and a first 30-day plan.
Income path simulator
Model a realistic month from price, prospects, and close rate. A planning aid to make the path concrete — never a promise.
What starters say
Starters who found their first move.
“I went in thinking I had nothing to sell. The X-Ray named eleven strengths from my support job — I finally saw the business.”
“The top-3 weren't three versions of the same idea. One I could start this week, one for the long game, one I'd actually enjoy.”
“The plan was the part that stuck — a real offer, a price, and a first message to send. No hype, just a next step.”
