Grant-Funded Programs.
Real Business Outcomes.
Audit-Ready Operations.
Launch Industries delivers grants management, online learning, and direct technical assistance for government agencies, nonprofits, and CDFIs running small business development programs. We handle compliance and advising so your team can focus on impact.
What We Deliver
Three core services that cover the full lifecycle of a grant-funded small business technical assistance program.
Grants Management
End-to-end administration of grant-funded programs: budget tracking, drawdown requests, compliance documentation, subrecipient monitoring, and funder reporting. We keep your program audit-ready at all times so you can focus on participants instead of paperwork. We work with federal, state, and local grant programs including SBA, EDA, CDBG, and city-funded small business development initiatives.
Online Learning
Design, develop, and deliver online curricula for small business technical assistance programs. We build structured learning pathways, on-demand course content, facilitator guides, and participant workbooks that meet funder requirements and actually help business owners move forward. Deliverables are compatible with Teachable, Thinkific, Canvas, Google Classroom, and custom LMS platforms.
Direct Technical Assistance
One-on-one and small-group consulting for program participants across business planning, financial management, marketing, operations, HR, and technology. Our advisors meet participants where they are — in person, virtually, or hybrid — and document session notes and outcomes for funder reporting. We serve programs funded through cities, counties, CDFIs, SBA resource partners, and state economic development agencies.
How We Work
A structured approach that keeps programs compliant, participants moving forward, and funders confident.
Program Onboarding
We review your grant agreement, funder requirements, and reporting schedule, then build a compliance calendar and intake workflow tailored to your program. Participants get a clear onboarding path from referral through first advising session.
Participant Advising
Credentialed advisors deliver advising aligned to each participant's stage and goals. Sessions are documented in real time, outcomes are tracked against program metrics, and participants receive a written action plan after each engagement.
Reporting & Compliance
We compile required data, draft narrative and quantitative reports to funder specifications, and submit on time. Mid-term and final reports, drawdown requests, and budget amendments are handled as part of ongoing program management.
Program Evaluation
We survey participants, track long-term outcomes, and produce program impact summaries that demonstrate ROI to funders and support future grant applications. Data is retained and formatted for continuations and renewal cycles.

We partner with public agencies and mission-driven organizations running formal small business programs.
