Did you know there are founders building tech companies right here in Myrtle Beach?

Not always obvious. But it shows up if you spend a little time around it.

Rooms filling up during the week. People working through ideas out loud. Small teams making steady progress and choosing to stay here while they do it.

The work is already happening.

The team at Launchpad saw that and decided to build here too.

This isn’t about bringing something to Myrtle Beach. It’s about adding structure around what is already in motion and giving founders a place to move faster with more clarity.

The first cohort starts in June. It’s a small group and it’s starting to fill.

If you’ve been thinking about building something, this would be a good time to take a closer look.
