LAB Ventures

LAB Ventures

LAB Ventures is a Miami-based investment firm focused on technology for the real estate and construction industries. The firm operates with a hybrid structure: it manages an early-stage venture capital fund backing external startups and simultaneously runs an in-house startup studio that originates, incubates, and launches its own companies. This dual model allows LAB Ventures to generate proprietary deal flow while participating as a standard institutional investor. Strategy centers on the built world. LAB Ventures targets early-stage companies across proptech, contech, and climate-adjacent real estate technologies. Asset classes include direct venture equity, studio-created operating businesses, and select strategic partnerships. The firm deploys capital across the US, with a stated emphasis on the Florida and Sun Belt markets where rapid urbanization and climate-exposed real assets create a natural testing ground for its portfolio companies. Public portfolio references include a mix of studio-originated startups and third-party venture positions. The firm maintains a contained operational footprint centered on its Miami headquarters. LAB Ventures has not publicly disclosed aggregate deployment figures or a current firmwide AUM. Adjacent structures, including any philanthropic vehicles or real asset holding companies, are not referenced in public record. LAB Ventures' structural differentiator is its embedded startup studio. Rather than operating solely as a passive LP in venture funds or a direct co-investor, the firm generates a material portion of its deal flow internally by designing, capitalizing, and spinning out companies from within its own operating platform. This collapses the typical sourcing distance between idea and funded entity — a posture more common in software accelerators than in real-asset-focused investment firms.
