ABOUT US
We are a ‘Zero to One’ Venture Studio and incubator that internally conceives of and builds blockchain products and businesses, from ideation to production and spin-out.
We also work with a small number of founders from inception with substantial first-cheque capital and resource commitment.
We’re a team of
Blockchain developers
Researchers
Former Founders
Product managers
Traders
Business builders
OUR HERITAGE
Cumberland Labs is backed by the founders of some of the most successful and reputable operators in tradfi and crypto markets, offering our founders access to best-in-class technologists, trading teams and market experts with deep technical capabilities.
Founded in 1992, DRW is one of the leaders in global trading and market making. The firm's engineers, technologists, traders, portfolio managers, and professionals in the world apply modeling, technology, and quantitative research to identify opportunities in financial markets.
Launched in 2014, Cumberland, a leading global crypto liquidity provider, operates under DRW, offering OTC spot and derivatives trading for institutional clients. It's known for sophisticated risk management and strong compliance frameworks.
Our Approach
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.
Founders First
We 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.
Maximum Leverage
We work on a high-conviction basis with a small number of founders and companies where we contribute significant first-check capital and resources.
We seek to combine Cumberland Labs’ business building and technical capabilities with the extensive expertise, operations and network of our partners DRW and Cumberland, to substantially increase the probability of success.
