Working with industry experts, participants will receive tailored guidance and actionable, practical insights, as well as the chance to win a $25,000 cash prize for the best offering, as judged by a panel of experts.

Founded in 2012 with the goal of helping software sellers grow their businesses as quickly and efficiently as possible, Paddle has witnessed rapid growth among AI software businesses, with a 337% growth in revenue in the last 12 months. More than 4,000 SaaS businesses rely on Paddle’s payments, invoicing, billing, tax, compliance and metrics tools to sell into over 200 markets globally, including AI innovators such as Vidyo.ai, Kaleido AI and more.

Paddle’s AI Launchpad will give the next generation of AI founders an opportunity to accelerate their company growth by offering masterclasses and interactive workshops from industry experts on the fundamentals of SaaS scaling, including product and go-to-market (GTM) strategies, finance & operations and industry positioning. 25 founders will be accepted on to the first cohort of the programme based on their AI business idea, their minimum viable product, and their ability to demonstrate market traction and growth potential.

As part of the programme, Founderpath, a $150m fund for SaaS founders, has allocated $10 million in funding for selected participants who successfully complete Paddle’s programmes, providing additional opportunities and resources to further fuel their growth and success.

Commenting on the launch, Christian Owens, Founder and Executive Chairman of Paddle, said: “2023 has seen a Generative AI boom, with companies in the space securing $1.3bn in the last few months. However, having a great product is just the first challenge in a very competitive space. No matter how smart your AI tool, you won’t be able to scale your company to its full potential without the right growth strategies and infrastructure in place. That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil AI Launchpad, a programme aimed at upskilling some of the ecosystem’s most ambitious AI founders. In line with our goal of helping software businesses everywhere scale, our programme – backed by $10m in Founderpath funding commitments – will equip the next generation of AI leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to achieve, and sustain, industry-leading levels of growth.”
