Whether you are celebrating #Thanksgiving with loved ones or getting through another work week (hello international friends!), we are so grateful for you.
To #founders who inspire us through relentless ambition, #mentors and #investors who lend your expertise, and to our global #community that makes everything possible: THANK YOU!
Your time, energy, and support help us empower #startups to create impactful and sustainable ventures that address big challenges.
We believe that innovation knows no borders. This year, weβve been proud to help founders bridge markets, form meaningful partnerships, and turn bold visions into reality.
As we gather with loved ones this week, weβre reminded that none of this would be possible without the collective efforts of this incredible community.
Wishing you all a warm, joyful, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving π§‘
Celebrating our brilliant 2024 venture fellows! Thank you Carolyn Kim, Chuck Dodge, Jonathan Lee, Mitchell Quon, and Sherry Wang for all your hard work and support, especially helping with #NYTechWeek last month π
What is a venture fellow? VFs help find and evaluate breakthrough technology #startups, particularly those #founders with a #global vision. The role is a combination of #deal #sourcing, #market #diligence, and working with Lair East Labs' #portfolio companies to support on strategic initiatives.
