There's clearly something discrimination wise happening with their choices on who they work with. On top of that no reasoning besides we dont work with platforms was given. Yet you look at their customer base and half are platforms or apps that might as well be and the rest are games etc. Find a different company to get help from if your a platform creator they will blind reject you without any real research. I digress if your CSR would have asked clarification period that would have been a different story. But they didnt. Terminology and framing wasn't what you look for but the product is very similar to multiple projects youve hosted. Make it make sense.

Negative experience. Expensive. No results.

Update Dec 09: I requested Trustpilot the option to verify my experience, and sent invoice and email communication. Update Dec 08: I can provide invoices, email communication, and much more to anyone who requires it, including Trustpilot. However, Launchboom has to initiate this requirement. The fact that they do not shows that they are hiding. They pretend that all their negative reviews, with some exceptions, are fake. But they are not. Many of their positive reviews are fake. When working with Launchboom you have a +70% change you will fail with your campaign and lose your money. Working with LaunchBoom looked promising at first, but the experience fell short once we got into the actual process. They talk a lot about systems and strategy, yet most of what they delivered felt generic and required a lot more work on my side than expected. The guidance was surface level, the ads never really clicked, and the “support” felt more like being pointed to templates than getting real help. They position themselves as experts who will elevate your launch, but unless you already have strong product market fit, a big budget, and plenty of time to fill in the gaps yourself, the results won’t match the expectations they set. I walked away feeling like I paid for a framework, not a partner. I wouldn’t choose them again. And a personal observation: every time someone posts something negative about them, suddenly a handful of glowing comments appear out of nowhere. I noticed it, and so did plenty of other customers. Their real success rate sits well under what they claim, even lower than the average Kickstarter success rate.

Very expensive. Good sales team. Friendly. Until you sign up and need them. Their whole approach is nothing but a course you can buy online at a 5th of the price, and get for free if you put in the efforts. Like many others stated, when you are in, you'll notice very quickly that while they lure you in with success stories, under 10-20% of the campaigns they work with, succeed. Most do not. Like us, you have a massive chance your campaign will fail and it's never their fault, but always the product or customer. Then, why work with us in the first place?

Was considering using their service and planned on setting a meeting next week as we don't work weekends. Over the weekend I received three emails, which is excessive, the last of which asking if I was even serious about my project. Very disrespectful. Will not be using this service.

Horrible experience. Very pushy. They will follow you for a year if needed, sending regular request to ask when you will sign up, and send 'success stories', often not even theirs. When I then signed up, paid a hefty fee, I realized its nothing but an expensive course. Sure, there are some ok materials in there, but nothing you cannot get and read for free or invest your money and get actual help. Ultimately, our campaign was a resounding failure. And before Lauchboom sas it's the fault of my project, I not only followed their course and suggestions to the T, we are now selling without issues on amazon. When you look at the track record and compare it to the number of customers Launchboom serves, like many others brought up here and other platforms, their success rate is LOWER than any other agency. Most of their customers complain and fail with their projects, not only out on the money they paid for Launchboom, but also all the money that went into the ads. Horrible company. All self-marketing until you sign up. A guaranteed way to lose your money and fail on your project.

As many others reported, they sold me on one of the best services in the market—turns out, it’s a glorified course. When you sign up, you get access to videos and course materials, and some kind of support by video (not live!). They sign you up pretending you’re one of the selected few. Then you enter the forum and see you’re not. They push you to invest a lot of ad spend, but by no means help you run the ads, create the landing page, or validate properly. Sure, they have a landing page builder, but it's still the customer who has to build it (me). I paid a lot—a lot—of money, for just some videos! Finally, our project failed horribly, and I am $20,000 in the red. TWENTY THOUSAND USD! I guess that some of their wealthy customers don’t care, but for me, this is on my credit card, and I’ll never get that money back. If they had been honest about the chances of success—if they had been honest in their sales calls and told me that most of their customers utterly fail—I would not have taken the risk. Is it their fault that my project wasn’t good enough? No. But the fact that they pretended to be the best ever seen, the fake reviews, the false claims, and the omission that most of their projects don’t reach their goal... made me, and hundreds of others, lose a lot of money. Avoid LaunchBoom!

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.
