Finding the right environment and entrepreneur support for your business can be the difference between staying stuck and scaling up. For entrepreneurs in Henderson and the greater Las Vegas area, Launchpad offers a workspace. 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.
