Our Portfolio
“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.”
Samuel Matthews, Sinc
“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.”
Yasser Boumenir, Prinsta
“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!”
Alexander Hejazi, BallBox
“They (Lair East labs) really personalize and create an intimate support framework for the founders. They are internationally focused, meaning that if you’re a startup that wants to scale globally, that’s one of the advantages of partnering with Lair East Labs. Their support is ongoing (and even beyond the accelerator program). Whether it’s from an investor perspective and mentorship perspective or networking with other portfolio companies to grow.”
