A Lookback at Workers Launchpad and a Warm Welcome to Cohort #6

Launchpad is expanding beyond a programme to become a growing community of builders, and Cloudflare has now introduced Cohort #6 as the next group of entrepreneurs to take the stage. Since 2022, the launchpad has welcomed 145 startups from 23 countries, spanning AI, developer tools, cloud infrastructure and other sectors, with Cohort #5 notably featuring near-equal representation by female founders.

The programme offers hands-on support, from design coaching and pricing sessions to problem-solving through office hours and Discord interactions, while Cloudflare has facilitated introductions across the VC network and tracked funding and M&A activity as startups scale.

Cloudflare first announced the Workers Launchpad with up to $1.25 billion in potential funding, later expanding to $2 billion, and founders have also benefited from up to $250,000 in cloud credits to build on the Developer Platform for up to one year. Cohort #6 follows Cohort #5’s demo day, and the post invites startups to apply for Cohort #7, with updates shared via X and the Cloudflare developer Discord.
