Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the aim of the program?

The aim of this program is to nurture ideas and turn them into investment ready businesses. Idea stage and very early stage companies struggle with the “come back when you have traction” investment problem. The aim of the program is to help you build that product and get the traction you need opening doors for angel investment. All while ensuring you minimize mistakes and problems that young founders struggle with by surrounding them with experienced developers, analysts, entrepreneurs and advisors.

Do I need to have an existing product?

No you don’t have to have a product! We encourage idea stage and first time founders to apply as they are the ones the benefit the most from this program.

Is this program for me?

This program is great for founders at idea stage, and for early stage startups looking to revamp their existing product and develop a scalable solution. In addition, you have to be coachable and open to the advice of the LabEight* team and the mentors and EIRs.

How big should my team be?

We welcome teams of all sizes. Whether you are a solo founder or a group of co-founders, through our CxO matchmaking program we will help you find your next partner and will also help you setup your full team.

Do you provide investment?

No we do not provide investment with our early stage Studio. Upon completing the program and developing the MVP we will connect you with accelerator programs and angel investors who provide you with capital to support the growth of the company.
