Launch Scout isn’t your typical code shop. We value collaboration above all else, and we ask our clients to work elbow-to-elbow, day after day, with a handpicked team of designers, developers and engineers. Because when we work for you, we expect you to work with us. That investment comes with perks, though: a real-time view of your project’s momentum, the opportunity to make suggestions without requiring rework, and a chance to partner with world-class developers who genuinely love what they do. Our team members are curious and collaborative (not to mention highly caffeinated), and together with them, you can create well-crafted custom software that will delight your end users. Software that’s both hardy and flexible. Software that leaves a lasting impact.

We were founded by David Velie, a faith-based entrepreneur, turnaround specialist, and accelerated-growth advisor who has led successful turnarounds and developed leaders to grow their businesses.
We help church leaders pursue the vision they have been given. By bridging our business experience and strategic expertise with our heart for ministry, we help church leaders create and implement long-term strategic growth plans. Our passion for people and leadership comes from our faith and lifelong commitment to God. Our founder, David, grew up in a pastor’s home, so he has seen firsthand what it takes to lead a church and help that church reach its full potential.
David works with church leaders to develop a strategic plan for the success of their churches. The goal is to help them:
• Close gaps in their church’s leadership skills
• Improve organizational structure and internal workflows
• Leverage new ways of working
• Tap into the power of innovative technologies
