About Lab08
Built on a simple belief: Tech risk should never be invisible.
Too many investment decisions are made with incomplete visibility into the technology underneath. When real risks are buried in architecture decisions, accumulated technical debt and infrastructure that was not built to survive a change of ownership, surface-level analysis is never enough. Lab08 brings the operator’s eye and the auditor’s rigor. Every conclusion tied to evidence. Every finding structured to hold up in an investment committee.
We set a new standard for tech due diligence. Developed by experienced operators, enhanced by AI, and focused on what actually drives value.
We give you a way to smarter decisions. Fewer blind spots. Stronger deals.
Great investments aren’t just about managing downsides. They’re about seeing the full potential, and having the know-how to take it there.

Words from our founder
I’m often asked why we are called Lab08. 2008 was the year we co-founded our first company. We spent a decade building it in the trenches before exiting in 2018. That experience, the technical decisions that turned out to matter, the ones that did not, and the moments where outside perspective would have changed everything, is the foundation Lab08 is built on. We started Lab08 as a lab for new ideas. It became something more specific: A conviction that tech due diligence in the Nordics deserved better than checkbox exercises and generic reports.
Today, we are building the AI-native platform and the operator-led team that we wish had existed when we were on the other side of the table. It is genuinely inspiring work, and we are only getting started.
Tech is where we start.
Tech is the most measurable, most evidence-rich part of any deal, and it’s where we’ve spent eight years and 80+ engagements building the framework. The same architecture, evidence to conviction, is built to extend further. For now, tech is the proof.
