The Lab17 Ventures arose from a close-knit group of friends, hailing from both newly successful and established tech companies coming together to talk tech. Collectively they wanted to use the skills acquired, and invest capital, into the start-up ecosystem that had shaped them and their successes. They wanted to help understand the problem the next venture is going to solve and kick-start peoples journey to scale through seed funding. Since its inception in 2017, The Lab17s Ventures has invested >$1m into numerous ventures, including: - GetBlys.com - AudienceRepublic.com - https://thnx.me/ - Grapple.com.au The group are always looking to build again, and would love to hear how you are going to solve problems at scale and grow your teams.

We are Uber. The go-getters. The kind of people who are relentless about our mission to help people go anywhere and get anything and earn their way. Movement is what we power. It’s our lifeblood. It runs through our veins. It’s what gets us out of bed each morning. It pushes us to constantly reimagine how we can move better. For you. For all the places you want to go. For all the things you want to get. For all the ways you want to earn. Across the entire world. In real time. At the incredible speed of now. The idea for Uber was born on a snowy night in Paris in 2008, and ever since then our DNA of reimagination and reinvention carries on. We’ve grown into a global platform powering flexible earnings and the movement of people and things in ever expanding ways. We’ve gone from connecting rides on 4 wheels to 2 wheels to 18-wheel freight deliveries. From takeout meals to daily essentials to prescription drugs to just about anything you need at any time and earning your way. From drivers with background checks to real-time verification, safety is a top priority every single day. At Uber, the pursuit of reimagination is never finished, never stops, and is always just beginning.
