The Launchpad is actually a GUI of your applications/utilities folders. It should be in your applications folder.
It's labeled Install OSX Mavericks and should have popped up after downloading it.

Open Spotlight start typing in "Install OS X Mavericks.app" no " and it should find it.
My download is called "OS X Mavericks:" and is in /Applications
Note: It won't show up in finder until the download is complete. If you go into terminal and list the contents of /Applications it shows up as "OS X Mavericks.appdownload" during the download.

My download was called 'Install OS X Mavericks.app' and was downloaded from the app store. It was not stored in the Apps folder but in /Volumes folder, as stated above. However, this could have been because I downloaded it on a Mavericks machine. I had the 1st GM build of Mavericks already installed.
