I.Conviction over consensus
II.Operators first

We do not chase trends. We build the infrastructure that outlasts them.

Capital follows clarity, not momentum.

Subsidiaries, SPVs, and partners share one standard.
Orcrist Launchpad · Batch 2026 · Closes April 30, 2026
Technical founders
under 25.
Any problem.
Orcrist Launchpad backs technical founders under 25 who are using technology to solve real problems. The industry does not matter. Healthcare, agriculture, fashion, education, logistics, finance: we have no sector thesis. We have one condition. You must be a technical founder building a technology product. If that is you, apply.
We do not tell founders what problems to solve. The world has more unsolved problems than any investment thesis can cover. What we know is that the founders who scale fastest are building with technology at the core of everything they do.
We are not looking for founders who use technology as a marketing channel or a distribution tool. We back founders for whom technology is the product. Software engineers who code their own MVP. AI builders shipping real models. Hardware founders who understand the circuit. Platform builders who have architected the system themselves.
The industry does not matter. The technical depth does.
Example
AgriTech in West Africa
A technical founder under 25 codes a platform connecting smallholder farmers to buyers and logistics providers. The problem is agricultural. The product is technology. That is Launchpad.
Example
AI tools for creative industries
A founder builds and ships an AI model helping independent designers with trend prediction and production planning. The industry is fashion. The product is an AI system the founder built. That is Launchpad.
Example
Healthcare infrastructure anywhere
A technical founder creates a telemedicine platform and writes the backend themselves. The problem is health access. The founder is an engineer solving it with code. That is Launchpad.
The offer
What Launchpad gives you.
01
Up to 25,000 euros

Who we back
Under 25. Technical. Solving something that matters.
We have backed technical founders working in agriculture, health, logistics, fashion, education, and finance. Every single one of them had two things in common: they were under 25, and technology was not a layer on top of their product. Technology was the product. We do not care which problem you are solving. We care deeply that you are the technical founder solving it.
You are the technical founder
You write code, train models, design systems, or build hardware yourself. You are not looking for a technical co-founder. You are the technical co-founder.
Technology is the product
Not a feature. Not a distribution channel. The technology you are building is the solution itself. Software, AI, hardware, platforms, infrastructure: all qualify.
Under 25 on the day you apply
This is the one hard rule we do not bend. Your age is the only thing we check with a hard filter. Everything else is a judgment call. This is not.
Any industry, any country
No geography restriction. No sector restriction. If you are under 25, technically strong, and building technology to solve a real problem, we want to hear from you.
Apply
