Update May 15: Dear Mark, you’re not confused. I submitted proof of purchase to Trustpilot, and they’ve reinstated my review. You’re free to question publically whether I’m a real customer—but the evidence says otherwise. May 5, 2025: I shared evidence with Trustpilot to support my claim. LaunchBoom often tries to get negative reviews removed or issue refunds, but the damage is already done—and campaigns have failed. Be warned: the chances are high that your project will -fail too, just like most of theirs. ------- We hired Launchboom in March 2025 this year, after a first intake call 3 years ago, follow-up by their team for this time with sales emails, and following their monthly “success stories newsletters”. Exactly by being with them for such a time before pulling the trigger, I noticed a few things. In doubt, but still believing their service is the best out there, I signed up. Here is a rant of personal experience. The not so bad, but you have to know: 1. They do not offer a full service but a glorified course. You pay a lot of money to access videos and other materials you can find out there for free. This is not made 100 % clear when you get in touch with their sales team. 2. You have to do all the work. This is not a service, but a course with guidance with online videos. You do not have a team doing the work. This is still your responsibility. You pay a lot for a course. 3. They claim to be working only with selected projects, but it became quickly apparent that they take on everyone who pay them. A tactic I understand, but it’s not fully correct and fair. The bad: 5. When you follow their success stories and very selected reviews, you would believe that everything they touch is a success. Like several other reviewers pointed out, it’s not. About 60 % of the projects working with Launchboom fail. I can verify this number purely by checking how many other creators failed. Some even speak of 70 %. That’s a large number for an expensive course. This only becomes apparent when working with them, and getting in touch with other customers following their course. Most of the Launchboom customers fail. 6. It’s not that it’s a bad course. But simply that a course can only do that much. As they sell to everyone they can and do not properly validate, you end up with a large ad spend and loss in both their course fee and ads you paid for. But they don’t tell you this. They talk about their massive success stories. Most of them though, would have done it without their course as well. If you check them out, most have marketing teams and +$100,000 to 200,000 in ad spend! - Launchboom suggested us that we needed at least $20,000 – $25,000 in ad spend. But this is not even the truth. Most of their projects spend much, much more, and barely make a profit. Also this information only comes out when you signed up with them, pay a hefty fee, and get to know other creators. What else, besides the 60 – 70 % failure rate? 7. They abuse the review system. I signed up with them as I found mostly good reviews. And this made me dreaming. But after a while, you notice that Launchboom uses a tactic to bring in positive reviews from the few successful projects they run (mind you, successful does not mean profitable), by offering incentives and discounts to those who review. Again, I noticed this first-hand in our Launchboom group from the few creators who were successful. 8. When you look closer, most comments on negative reviews online, and it’s a growing group, have the same people commenting on how amazing Launchboom is. It's not only the incentive... a lot of their reviews also come in waves. Even for projects which are from a year ago. Back to my project; we barely hit our goal. If I deduct the Launchboom cost for their course, the $28,000 in ad spend, hiring a copywriter $1,250, designer $3,000 and video team 7,499, and 5 % + fee for Kickstarter, I’m in a loss of $22,000. They call my project a success. On which planet? I hope this can serve as a warning. It’s not that they are scamming you outright. They are just very creative with the truth and smart to flood the internet with some of their course materials, articles and an incentive for reviews. Because of this, most of the creators, between 60 – 70 %, fail their project by looking up at the large projects Launchboom presents and repeats as case studies over and over. I’m available to share proof and posted my review on the Launchboom complaints forum as well. There are currently over 120 complaints and stories such as mine. Be warned. When it looks to good to be true, it often is. In this case, it's especially an expensive lesson and for most of their customers, the end of a successful crowdfunding campaign.

Partnering with LaunchBoom was easily the most important and impactful decision I made in the first 12 months of operating my Real Fake Games/ Quest Snakes. Their educational materials on how to market and prepare for a crowdfunding campaign, along with the hands on coaching of their staff made it possible raise nearly 150k USD on my first campaign. But perhaps more importantly, the lessons stretch far beyond the pre-campaign and have put us in a position to have one of our founders working fulltime now and scaling up our operations every month. The group is incredibly friendly and insightful. I really can't articulate how valuable the relationship has been for me and my business. If I could go back and do it all over again, I'd choose LaunchBoom every time.

Amazing team. Amazing knowledge. Amazing community. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be a return customer.

Partnering with LaunchBoom was one of the best decisions I made for my project, Sea Beasts! After minimally funding our first campaign, I made the call to cancel so I could reset and implement LaunchBoom’s proven pre-launch strategy—and it absolutely paid off. When we relaunched, we funded within minutes and eventually overfunded by more than 4,000%. Their expertise in pre-launch planning, ad optimization, and community-building—including connecting me with other talented creators and contractors—was invaluable to our success. I was especially impressed by how data-driven their approach was. They were constantly testing, refining, and helping me better understand our audience so we could get the best possible results. The team was communicative, proactive, and treated Sea Beasts like it was their own. Thanks to LaunchBoom, we launched with confidence after building a massive email list, and saw incredible turn out and engagement throughout the campaign. If you’re serious about crowdfunding success, partnering with LaunchBoom is easily one of the best decisions you can make. I’m incredibly grateful for the support and insight they brought to the table—before, during, and even after the campaign. They’ve been a fantastic partner every step of the way, and I’m excited to work with them again on all my future projects.

Extremely good support and guidance through out . I do believe we went overboard in our experiments and hence the bleed , could have done better with a smarter frugal strategy and fewer experiments. Also would help to have a stronger organic as well as inorganic strategy

LaunchBoom was vital for me, leading to my Kickstarter's success. The thing that makes LaunchBoom so critically important is that their model is "Done With You," so that you learn the skills that are truly important to not only a successful launch but also a successful business. At times, they hold your hand when you need it. Other times, they help you see the bigger picture of things, where to focus, what to improve upon, or... The value of having a group of people who can be your sounding board and walk with you as you embark on a new and scary journey. You can not take your Kickstarter seriously and put one up for fun. Or, you can take your fantastic idea, give it everything you have, and with guidance from LaunchBoom, give yourself more than a fighting chance to change your life completely. When I joined LaunchBoom, I was pretty far along in the process and had made many mistakes. LaunachBoom was precisely what I needed, when I needed them. Now, I have had a successful Kickstarter and moved onto e-commerce sales, and because of what I have learned, I have hit the ground running. I can't speak highly enough about these remarkable people and this incredible program. You get so much more than you pay for. Incredible.
