Who we are

Lair East Labs is a startup accelerator based in New York that empowers founders to expand internationally. At the heart of Lair East Labs lies the 4-month onsite accelerator. Each year 10 startups take on our program and receive investments of up to $150K. Our special 4-month program combines the best of two worlds - learn from alumni founders of top Silicon Valley-style accelerators and gain access to a mentor and investor network with extensive experience navigating the Asian markets. In the first five years of operation, our portfolio companies have raised $45 million of funding after completing the accelerator. At Lair East Labs, we help globally-minded founders scale their companies internationally. Leveraging acceleration, investment and an international community of like-minded people, we support founders in their quest to build successful and sustainable ventures that solve global problems. We are founders accelerating founders.

Funding Requirements

We invest in three types of founder profiles: 1) industry veterans & domain experts, 2) DeepTech pioneers, and 3) international and immigrant founders. We back a founding team made of any two or more of those types listed above.

Value add

Lair East Labs supports early-stage startups—especially in AI, FinTech, Blockchain, and Next-Gen Commerce—through a structured accelerator designed to help companies scale between the US and Asian markets.
