What we're up to
Currently, LAB802, is working to obtain external capital in order to fund the launch of the company’s inaugural product. After eighteen months of development the first prototypes have come and gone, the hardware components have been sourced, manufacturers have been contracted and the distribution center has been arranged. Members of LAB802’s management team have funded the entire research and development process internally. Why the ambiguous description of our venture? Well, the competition is probably reading this, too. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be very good at their jobs. We’d just rather not let them know we’re crashing the party...just yet.

What's up with the business cards?
Lately, we’ve been getting a lot of questions about the illustration gracing the back of our business cards (seen below). Let’s just say… inspiration often comes from the unlikeliest of experiences.
