The Lab17 Ventures | 86 followers on LinkedIn. Kick-starting new ventures on their journey to scale | The Lab17 Ventures arose from a close-knit group of friends, hailing from both newly successful and established tech companies coming together to talk tech. Collectively they wanted to use the skills acquired, and invest capital, into the start-up ecosystem that had shaped them and their successes. They wanted to help 'understand the problem the next venture is going to solve' and kick-start people's journey to scale through seed funding.
