:: LAUNCH80 — PRIVATE R&D

Launch80 is a private, highly technical research and development environment operated by NSS.

It is where AI, infrastructure, cybersecurity, software engineering, open source and general technical curiosity collide.

Some projects become products. Some become internal tools. Some become open source. Some are experiments that exist primarily because somebody wanted to know whether it was possible.

That's R&D.

:: HOW WE WORK

1. You explain the problem.

2. We figure out what the actual problem is.

3. We determine whether something should be built, bought, integrated, researched, or left alone.

4. We build / configure / secure / deploy it.

5. We operate it if you want us to.

Sometimes the best technical decision is not to build anything at all. We'd rather tell you that than sell you something you don't need.

:: HAVE A PROBLEM?

You don't need to know whether you need an AI consultant, software developer, systems engineer, cybersecurity firm, hosting provider, or research team.

That's our problem.

Tell us what you're trying to accomplish. We'll figure out the technology.
