What Eagle Labs does

Eagle Labs is a private seeding and incubation house for quantitative trading ventures, based in Herzliya Pituach, Israel, with 11–50 employees. Founded upon the three-decade track record of parent company Eagle Investment Solutions, a systematic hedge fund established in 1993, Eagle Labs partners with promising quantitative trading startups by providing strategic investment alongside shared infrastructure and operational support, enabling portfolio companies to focus entirely on strategy development rather than operational overhead. The firm targets quantitative trading ventures across a broad range of financial instruments, geographical areas, and trading frequencies.

Eagle Labs' core offering is an algorithmic trading platform underpinned by a substantial technical infrastructure: multiple collocation sites at stock exchanges globally running mission-critical in-house algorithms on both Windows and Linux environments; an on-site Hadoop/YARN research computing grid with dozens of machines supporting multiple researchers; a data processing stack running on PostgreSQL and Ubuntu, processing terabytes of data daily, with intelligent parsers and market data feeds for various exchanges; and an operations layer using Icinga2 for monitoring, Ansible for orchestration, and the Logstash/Elasticsearch/Kibana stack for log aggregation. Software development is primarily in C# and Python. Roadmap projects include deploying a metrics system (Influx/Graphite/Grafana), distributed Ceph storage, and a CI/testing environment.

Eagle Labs generates revenue through incubation and investment returns from portfolio companies, supplemented by operational support fees, in a managed-services arrangement handled through direct partnership agreements rather than public pricing. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: identifying, investing in, and incubating quantitative trading ventures through direct strategic partnerships, with the firm's primary marketing presence being its corporate website and targeted engineering recruitment. The firm operates globally and is actively recruiting to scale its engineering team to support a growing portfolio.
