About LabEight*

Why LabEight*

We understand that not all entrepreneurs are developers, they are visionaries of industry & need the right partner that can help them build a product, advise on market strategies & help accelerate the business.

Running a company can be lonely sometimes; all you need is a partner that just gets it.

Every entrepreneur will share their horror stories with the different developers & tech consultants they worked with until they found THE ONE. A process that costs them tens of thousands of dollars.
