Labster is a fast-moving, award-winning company that focuses on revolutionizing the way science is taught to students all over the world. Virtual labs are simulated learning environments that allow students to complete laboratory experiments online and explore abstract concepts and difficult theories without stepping into a physical science lab. Our labs are based on mathematical algorithms supporting open-ended investigations and are combined with gamification elements such as an immersive 3D universe, storytelling and a scoring system that stimulates students' natural curiosity and highlights the connection between science and real-world issues. Our customers include global leading institutions such as Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Exeter University and ETH Zurich. Article published by Mads Tvillinggaard Bonde, in Nature Biotechnology (July 2014) supports that using traditional teaching (incl. wet-labs) in combination with virtual labs potentially increases learning outcomes by 101%.

The object-oriented data model enables developers to work directly with native objects – no ORMs or DAOs required. And built-in edge-to-cloud data sync lets developers easily backup, manage, and analyze mobile app data in the cloud, using the full power of MongoDB Atlas. Realm was acquired by MongoDB in 2019.

We partner with Seed and Series A founders to make the climate transition a reality. We believe in infinite prosperity on our finite planet. We bridge the gap between traditional tech, climate science, the corporate sector, and policy. We have come together as founders, investors, operators, engineers, and scientists from across the world. We combine optimism with pragmatism to give founders access to the resources, expertise, and the international community required to succeed. Our interdisciplinary team has a single mission: accelerate the shift to an abundant and resilient society that can thrive within our planet’s boundaries. To achieve this, we need to transition every part of our economy. This is the defining challenge of our time. The stakes are high. The need is urgent. The building blocks are in place. And the opportunity is vast, very vast.
