Launch League Labs

Read it. Argue with it. Build it.

Read or watch something worth your time, talk about it with people in the same position, then build the thing it is actually about.

Three rooms

Same idea, three points of view

Owners, parents and students work on the same theme in the same month, from where they actually stand.

Business LabOwners, operators and professionals. Read the best business books. Actually implement them. A finished piece of work you can use on Monday — a rewritten offer, a pricing model, a cash routine, a one-page marketing plan.$99 – $199Four sessions, one a week, ninety minutes
Parent LabParents and guardians. Preparing your kid for work, money, independence and adulthood. A clearer view of what your teenager actually needs next, and one specific thing to change at home.FreeOne evening, ninety minutes
Teen LabStudents from age 12. Learn how people who build things actually think. Something you made and pitched to the room — an offer, a plan, a habit system, a budget.FreeFour sessions, one a week, sixty minutes

The bit that matters

Parents and teenagers, same month

A teenager spends four weeks learning to take ownership of something. In the same month their parent spends an evening on how to stop doing it for them. Then, some months, the last half hour is spent together.

The teenager presents what they built. The parent is the room, not the organiser.
Nobody is marked, nobody is compared, and a parent is never told what their child said in a session.
It is optional. A teenager who would rather their parent were not there gets to say so.

Joint sessions planned

The themes

Six months, planned

Every book belongs to its author. A Lab is a reading group that meets around a book — Launch League is not affiliated with any author or publisher, teaches nothing as theirs, and asks everybody to bring or borrow their own copy. Where a book is genuinely argued over, the page says so.

Questions

Straight answers

Is this a book club?: No. A book club produces opinions. Every Lab is built so that you leave with a thing — an offer, a plan, a budget, a routine — and the last session is spent showing it to the room.
Do I have to have read the book?: You get more out of it if you have, and nobody is quizzed. Some Parent Lab months are a workshop rather than a book, because the question matters more than the reading.
Why does the adult one cost money when the others are free?: Because adults can pay and young people should not have to. The Business Lab is one of the things that funds the student programme, which is the same arrangement as the rest of Launch League.
Is the Teen Lab supervised?: Yes, and a parent or guardian consents before a young person takes part, the same as everything else we run. The rules are on the parents page.
When do these start?: They are planned, not scheduled. When a month has a date and a room it will say so here, and not before — the site does not pretend a thing is running before it runs.
