We are looking for early-stage companies with passionate founders who have a clear vision for the future.
Month: March 2020
Our application can be found on F6S and AngelList.
Every day is a working day. There are no holidays. Every day that you are NOT working on your startup is a day lost.
2-3x a week there will be mandatory events for all the teams. These range from our mandatory roundtable dinner sessions,
workshops, prototype days, and so on. You can utilize our co-working space or feel free to work wherever you feel most comfortable.
All we ask is that you show up to our mandatory events.

Tailored Approach
We tailor our investors, mentors, and guidance specifically for every portfolio company. What matters most to us is that we help you create a positive and valuable societal impact.

“Lair East Labs is truly your business partner, not just an investor. Together, we developed our go-to-market strategy and after the program finished we could still rely on an entire team helping to grow our business and raise additional investment. Very happy we were a part of the Lair East Labs program and we’d do it again if we could!”

“From setting up impromptu meetings at 11pm and getting us tickets for Berkshire’s Annual meeting to sending one of their own (Thanks, Ruizhi!) on our week-long trip to China, LEL has been a true partner. The founders are well connected in the US and Asia and their program is ideal for startups – work during the day, meet with fellow founders in the evening.”

“What stands out most to me is how truly supportive Lair East Labs has been. With them as partners, we have grown into a large and successful company. The fireside chats were particularly insightful. Speaking to truly qualified people who’d done it in the past was a great source of knowledge and inspiration.”
