“Lair East Labs provides a level of experience you would never have gained in a typical startup accelerator or fund. Our weekly pitch meetings were a great way to prepare you for the real world of Venture Capital by sourcing deals from your own channels which enables you to think outside the box in terms of building a network. Venture Fellows have the opportunity to work on due diligence projects and hop on calls with founders to learn more about what they’re building. I found being able to interact with these founders to be the highlight of my fellowship experience while providing my own investment recommendations based on these interactions.”
