LaunchSide, an Oregon City, Oregon-based platform that connects young companies to new customers online, has received a $25k initial investment from the Portland Seed Fund.
Founded and led by Nathan Taggart, the company aims to help many startups be found when customers don’t know to search for them yet and make them able to gain traction as they launch by being featured on LaunchSide.com, in front of an audience of web, tech, and startup enthusiasts.
Initially focused on helping find early beta users, the company is now expanding the offerings. Its free service currently allows users to:
– connect with new apps and websites;
– get early-adopter perks from beta developers;
– provide feedback and potentially help shape early projects;
– share early access with friends.
