Our Mission

Our Core Values

Do the Right Thing

While the word “right” is subjective, we believe that inherently there’s a common set of choices that one can make in how they behave ethically and morally.

Collaborate

Teamwork is key at Lab651. We won't solve the problems of tomorrow without working together, respecting each other's views and collaborating to find the best solutions.

Own It

Your co-workers, our customers and the founders of Lab651 count on you to do the best job you can. This involves admitting success and sometimes failure.

Always Learning

We want people who are inherently inquisitive and want to learn on our team. Jobs are boring if you are not growing, learning and becoming better at what you do.

Customer First

Our reputation and experience are one of the key differentiators at Lab651. Keeping the best interests of our customers in mind and their needs first are critical to staying in business and allows us to continue to be successful.
