What We Do
We’re Launch Light and we help startups bring their visions to life.
Our clients are inventors and artists with big ideas to impact the world. Our job is to transform their stories into moving, cinematic videos that inspire people to back their idea.
We make launch videos for crowdfunding campaigns like Kickstarter or Indiegogo. We film high-tech gadgets, sports equipment, pet toys, flying robots–you name it. No two projects are alike and we’re never bored!
The best part of our job is helping hardworking founders get the success they deserve. Since 2014, we’ve helped over 100 companies go from obscurity to being featured on Shark Tank, CNN, Wired, TechCrunch, and many more. The founders we serve have been featured on Forbes 30 Under 30, TIME, and the WSJ.

To our clients, you are their storyteller and #1 fan. You guide them through the creative process and transform their sales pitch into a full-fledged cinematic commercial. You will work closely with founders who are passionate about what they do and find brilliant ways to share that excitement with the world.
To our creative team, you are a leader who leads from the front. You organize and direct our team of writers, camera operators, actors, and editors to bring your vision to life. You will work together to problem solve and produce creative work that everyone can’t wait to share.

As a company, we aren’t at the stage yet where we’re looking for full-time employees. However, for this role, we are looking for someone to work on a long-term, “permalancer” basis. As our company grows, we are aiming to provide opportunities for full-time employment.
Training & Onboarding
Regardless of your qualifications, this is a complex job role that we do not expect you to be proficient in at first. We will provide on-the-job training for the first 2-3 projects (approximately 4-6 months).
