But, more importantly, it’s a space for building relationships, accessing critical resources, and becoming part of a community that genuinely wants to see you succeed.



And with upcoming vacancies at Launchpad, now is the time to plug in.

A Launch Point for Growth


Launchpad is a coworking and private office space located in the heart of Henderson’s dynamic Water Street District. Backed by the Henderson Chamber of Commerce, Launchpad is the longest-running business incubator in Henderson—created to support emerging businesses and help them grow faster with access to mentorship, visibility, and professional connections.


Members at Launchpad enjoy a flexible office solution in a location designed for forward-thinking entrepreneurs. From startups and consultants to non-profit leaders and creatives, it’s a place where every conversation has the potential to spark something bigger.


A Smart Way to Expand Your Network


One of the biggest challenges new business owners face is building relationships that open doors. At Launchpad, networking is a built-in feature of the environment.


Here’s how Launchpad helps members expand their network in meaningful ways:

  • Organic introductions happen daily in the shared spaces, kitchen areas, and conference rooms.
  • On-site business mixers and professional development events bring in Chamber members and community leaders.
  • Proximity to Water Street businesses creates opportunities for local partnerships and walkable collaboration.
  • Staff-facilitated connections make it easy to find trusted service providers, vendors, or even your next client.

Because Launchpad is an extension of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce, members are seamlessly connected to a 2,000+ member network of professionals, giving them direct access to decision-makers and potential collaborators from day one.

Launchpad was built with the needs of small business owners in mind—offering a professional environment without the overhead of a traditional office. Every detail supports productivity, collaboration, and flexibility.


Key offerings include:

  • 15 fully refurbished, furnished private offices with all-inclusive amenities like electricity, central air, high-speed internet, janitorial service, and common area maintenance.
  • Short-term, 6-month leases—perfect for growing or transitioning businesses.

This setup allows entrepreneurs to stay lean while accessing professional amenities that support serious business growth.

What sets Launchpad apart isn’t just the location or layout—it’s the real-time entrepreneur support that comes with membership.

This includes access to:

  • Business development coaching through the Chamber and its partner programs.
  • Workshops and training events on topics like branding, finance, HR, and sales.
  • Leadership development opportunities through programs like Leadership Henderson.

Top Four Online Banking Security Threats and How to Avoid Them

By Clark County Credit Union • November 15, 2025
Quick Summary Online banking security is crucial as cyber threats grow. Top threats include spoofing, malware, public Wi-Fi risks, and weak passwords. CCCU shares essential tips on how to protect your finances. In today’s fast-paced digital world, online banking security is more important than ever. While digital banking offers unmatched convenience, staying vigilant ensures a safe and secure banking experience. Here are the top four online banking security threats and tips to avoid them: 1. Spoofing Scams Spoofing happens when fraudsters manipulate caller IDs, email addresses, or websites to appear as legitimate companies. Their goal is to steal your bank information by asking you to click links or answer questions pertaining to your bank account or login credentials. Tip: If in doubt, directly reach out to your financial institution using their official contact details. 2. Malware and Viruses Malware can infect devices, putting your personal and financial data at risk. Cybercriminals often use malicious software to steal banking details and exploit sensitive data for their own gain. Tip: Regularly update your devices and install trusted antivirus and anti-malware software. Older devices may not accept current updates, making them a risk. 3. Public Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities Public Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured, making it easy for hackers to intercept data. Tip: Never access your online banking account on public Wi-Fi. Use a secure, private network or a virtual private network (VPN). 4. Weak or Reused Passwords Using simple or reused passwords increases the risk of unauthorized access to personal and financial accounts. Tip: Create strong, unique passwords for each account. Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Additional Safety Tips: Enable multifactor authentication (MFA) for extra security. Download banking apps from verified sources only. Monitor your accounts regularly for suspicious activity and set up account alerts. Log out after every session, especially on shared devices. Conclusion Protecting your online banking security starts with staying informed and proactive. Remember that knowledge is key to safeguarding your finances, so always verify unexpected messages or calls and think twice before clicking any links. CCCU offers resources to help you fight fraud and scammers; visit www.ccculv.org/Fraud-Protection or call us at 702-228-2228 to report any fraudulent transactions.
