FOUNDERS FIRST

Our primary objective is to commit our broad spectrum of resources to helping outstanding founders and early-stage teams go from zero to one. We work with successful applicants to put together a bespoke incubation program with the capital and resource commitments from Cumberland Labs that they need to achieve their goals.

Cumberland Labs does not operate large scale cohort intakes

We understand and respect the need for traditional incubators and accelerators to 'scale' with dozens of founders and early stage companies joining in bulk. That's just not our model.

We do not offer a predefined program

No classes. No program. We will help with what you and your idea needs.

We don't mandate one-size-fits-all investment terms

Founders join us at different stages of development, with different functional requirements. And they come to us with different capital and resource requirements. Our investment terms reflect this.

We are protocol/chain/
vertical agnostic

Cumberland Labs has no preference on sector or blockchain. We have relationships with most major protocols, but we optimise for success only.

MAXIMUM LEVERAGE

We work on a high conviction basis with a small number of founders and companies where we contribute significant first-check capital. Combined with Cumberland Labs’ business and technical capabilities and the extensive expertise, operations and network of our partners DRW and Cumberland, we dramatically increase the probability of success.

TEAM

We believe our people are the most important asset.

Our diverse team of developers, product managers, researchers, traders, former founders and business builders are constantly learning and building, just like you!
