Launch
For first-time founders
You have the idea. We help you get the foundation right.
- Choosing the right entity
- The legal basics every new business needs
- Funding your first year
- Avoiding the mistakes that end businesses early
For founders and business owners
The legal, financial and operational guidance of an experienced C-suite team, for the business you are starting or the one you are ready to grow.
Why we built this
Most founders piece together a lawyer, a finance advisor and an operator. We are all three.
Motion to Launch was started by Josh and LeeAnne Pearce, who have spent their careers in corporate law, on trading floors and in the C-suite, and who have owned and run businesses of their own. Everything here comes from that experience.
Two tracks

Momentum
For owners of existing businesses
