Z80 Labs

Z80 Labs operates as a technology incubator, focusing on cultivating early-stage internet-based, software, mobile, and digital media startups. The firm provides essential facilities, strategic mentorship, and initial financial support, enabling entrepreneurs to develop and scale their nascent businesses. This structured approach aims to foster innovation within its portfolio companies from conception through growth.

Established in July 2012 by Buffalo natives Jordan Levy and Ron Schreiber, Z80 Labs originated from a shared understanding of the need for a dedicated internet-focused technology ecosystem in their home region. Their collective experience and insight led to the creation of Buffalo's first incubator of its kind, specifically designed to address local market needs and opportunities.

Z80 Labs primarily serves entrepreneurs and emerging software companies across New York, with a particular emphasis on Western New York. The organization’s long-term vision is to act as a significant catalyst, thereby transforming Buffalo and the broader Western New York area into a vibrant and self-sustaining technology hotbed, supporting a new generation of innovative enterprises.
