Investment thesis
StartLabs focuses on supporting early-stage technology teams through intensive mentorship and seed capital. The firm believes that proper guidance and access to experienced mentors from both the region and Silicon Valley are critical to developing product-market fit and attracting future investment. StartLabs takes a partnership approach as a co-founder alongside the founding team, taking 10-15% equity in exchange for seed funding and comprehensive operational support across product development, growth, and legal services. The accelerator is sector-agnostic but favors technology-driven ventures.
