Originate Labs: Venture Resource Firm
Originate Labs is a venture resource and elite software development firm that invests entrepreneurial engineering talent in high-potential, innovative ideas and teams. Originate invests architecture and development teams, processes, expertise, and experience in both internally generated ideas, as well as opportunities presented by select partners. This model allows its employees (innovators) to play a hands-on roll in investments, such that each receives equity in the projects to which they contribute. This shared risk / shared reward structure provides an alignment similar to hiring a full-time in-house engineering team, but has the unique advantage of zero to minimal spin-up time.
Originate Labs specializes in mobile, database, web, social, eCommerce, and network applications, as well as mobile firmware and hardware. Originate has experience in domains ranging from green technology to hospitality, social networking to mobile commerce, recruiting to storage systems. The diversity and entrepreneurial drive of the Originate innovators allows the team to quickly come up to speed on new domains and effectively apply best practices and past experiences to the most challenging new areas and problems.
