I also worked directly for Jason for nearly 3 years and have nearly an identical story as Adam. The entire Launch organization was built around Jason giving back to founders. All of his actions during my time working for him reflected this mission.

It's optional, but yes. We don't charge a delivery fee. Consumers have the option to tip through the app or give our servers a cash tip.
