We build startups.We back founders.
OctoLabs is the startup studio born inside Octoplus. We ideate and ship our own ventures — and partner with exceptional founders to build theirs. From zero to production.
We build, and we back.
OctoLabs operates on two parallel tracks — building original ventures in-house and partnering with outside founders who have the vision but need the execution power.
We build our own startups
Our team ideates, designs, engineers, and launches original products from scratch. Full ownership, zero compromise.
- In-house product ideation from market gaps
- Full-stack engineering from day one
- Go-to-market and early traction built in
- Retained IP and equity-backed growth
We back exceptional founders
Got the idea? We bring the engineering, product, and infrastructure to make it real. We co-build, co-own, and share in your success.
- Selective intake — quality over quantity
- Engineering-led co-building partnership
- Shared equity or milestone-based model
- Launch, iterate, and scale together
Built inside the lab.
Every product we ship starts as a conviction. These are the ones we bet on.

From application to launch.

Apply
Submit your idea, traction, and what you need. We review every application personally within 5 business days.
Founder Call
A focused 60-minute call with our founding team. We assess the idea, the market, and the person behind it.
Build Sprint
If there's a fit, we kick off a 2-week build sprint to validate the core product — no fluff, just working software.
Launch & Scale
We ship the MVP, help you get first users, then iterate toward product-market fit together. You own it; we back it.
Ready to build?
We accept a small number of founder partnerships per quarter. If you have a problem worth solving and the drive to see it through, we want to hear from you.
