New London Startup Lab Makeshift Gives Birth To Its First MVP: HireMyFriend

tumblr_inline_mpzoz1m4Xc1qz4rgpMakeshift, a new "Startup Lab" in London's Eastern tech cluster, has now produced its first product, HireMyFriend. Unlike an accelerator which invests in small startups, Makeshift plans to launch its own products from internal resources. These are significant - they include a co-founder of Bebo and the former CTO of Aframe. The "labs" approach has been taken by other notables including Kevin Rose's former Milk Studios project, Monkey Inferno in SF, and, to some extent - Betaworks in New York. Labs also differ from the "Studio" model, which builds a team around an existing entrepreneur.
