    Why we invested

    From day one, Pawel and Simon didn't pitch us a company — they showed us momentum. This was not a typical early-stage story. It was a global movement in the making. LabLab.ai had already attracted tens of thousands of developers, and NewNative was building the infrastructure to serve them. We backed them because they weren't following the AI wave — they were helping shape it.

    What they do

    LabLab.ai is a global community and hackathon platform where AI developers build, learn, and launch. NewNative is the engine behind it — building tools, talent, and infrastructure that help AI teams ship faster.

    Why it matters

    AI is moving fast — but most teams lack the people, velocity, or infrastructure to keep up. NewNative solves that by connecting world-class AI talent with real-world problems, at speed and scale. LabLab.ai is more than a dev playground — it's a global top-of-funnel for innovation.
