Our founders
Twenty or so years and we still seem to get along. From a dev shop in Japan, to API and cloud specialist Sixtree, to building Platform Engineering at Deloitte in 2016. As Deloitte Partners we built one of the region’s largest and most successful software engineering businesses with a few hundred highly-talented engineers delivering mission critical and highly secure solutions to the most complex of enterprises.
At Lab Eleven we’re bringing this delivery and engineering pedigree to modern Fintechs leveraging blockchain technologies. We partner with like-minded founders and investors to offer a clear and confident path to market. Learn more about the story so far, why we chose Solana or the vision for Lab Eleven.
The Lab Eleven Story
Road to the Lab
After 10 years of co-building one of Australia’s most successful software engineering businesses, I wanted a (questionably) well-earned break. What went wrong?

Why Solana?
Lab Eleven is focusing exclusively on the Solana blockchain. Why put all the chips on one technology?
What’s this Lab Eleven thing all about?
Agreed. It’s a bit of a weird name and it’s hard to pronounce to be honest. Lab Eleven. It twists the tongue rather than rolls off it. Still, it’s different, and hopefully so are we!
