About Menlo Labs

We are a new kind of venture studio, helping founders create category-defining companies. Our team of experienced operators and investors partner with entrepreneurs to de-risk the opportunity and maximize their chances of success. At the earliest stage, we validate the idea—assessing the customer need and competition, ensuring the solution is technically feasible and financially viable—to prove that it can become a profitable business that VCs will back. Then we start building.

We operate in the trenches with our founders, engaging on key decisions and strategic plans. We offer coaching and guidance through the good times and the bad. We do the legwork to give founders a leg up, so they can move faster with more focus, more confidence, and support from every angle.
