Launchpad is a tool designed to simplify game creator discovery and key distribution. It uses machine learning for smart creator discovery across platforms like TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube. The platform also offers tools for managing creator relationships and automating outreach campaigns. Launchpad streamlines key distribution with a widget for collecting creator interest and advanced key management features. This aims to eliminate the need for bulky spreadsheets and disparate tools for game developers.
