Residency · with focal.vc
A hyper-selective, 3+ month founder residency run in partnership with focal.vc. Ten exceptional, early-stage teams relocated to Miami to build full-time in person at The LAB — surrounded by relentless peers and mentored by founders who've built billion-dollar companies.
Residents got free office space, access to a 200+ investor network, and over $1M in vendor perks, all without the heavy dilution of a traditional accelerator.

Accelerator · with Vetted
The Vetted Accelerator is the only program and venture fund built exclusively for startups founded by U.S. and Israeli combat veterans — operators turned entrepreneurs building high-trust companies with global impact. The LAB hosted the Miami "Work-Up" phase of Cohort #005, the in-person finale to a 10-week program that began with a bootcamp in Tel Aviv.
For ten days, founders worked full-time at The LAB alongside mentors who've built, scaled, and exited successful companies — sharpening product, fundraising, and storytelling ahead of demo day and mission-aligned investment from the Vetted Fund.
