Meet the 8 startups from the StartupLab Accelerator Fall 2018

Thursday was Demo Day here at StartupLab, when the fall’18 batch of our accelerator went on stage in front of more than 250 investors, entrepreneurs and corporate partners — to present their business and progress to-date.

Through the last three months we've gotten to work closely with the founders of these 8 companies. Besides funding them, we've been doing whatever we can to help them move ahead — introducing them to our network of founders, investors, corporate partners and advisors — and pushing them to remove distractions and focus on the core objects that drive their business forward.

We are very impressed with what they've accomplished so far, and look forward to continue supporting them on their journey (obviously it's only the program that ended on Thursday— not our involvement). Without further ado; here are the 8 companies that were part of our fall’18 program:
