Build Teams, Scale Faster

Basecamp is LaunchVic’s new program for seed to series A founders looking to attract quality executive talent and build out your Strategy, HR, Operations, Finance, Sales and Growth functions.

Learn how to find, retain and grow the people who could be the making of your business, and get ready to scale the startup summit.

In the early stages of a startup, a bad exec hire can set you back 6-12 months.

What is Basecamp?

Basecamp is a no-cost founder education program designed to help you build and lead high-performing teams that will deliver on your vision. 

In six focused sessions over seven weeks May-June 2025, you’ll learn from industry experts who have scaled unicorns, and they’ll teach you how to:

  • Create a strategic hiring roadmap to ensure you recruit the right skills at every stage of growth
  • Hire experienced executive talent that you can trust and delegate to
  • Build and manage a high-performing team that drives results
