About GrindLab
GrindLab, the ecosystem for poker players who want to improve.
Track your hands, analyze them, fix the ranges behind them, and hand the spots you are unsure about to your circle. All in one place. Built by two poker players who design products for a living.
Our mission
GrindLab exists so that a player who wants to improve finds everything they need in one place. Not one more tool to bolt onto the six others, but a complete ecosystem where each step of the work leads naturally into the next.
You play, and your hands come in on their own. You analyze them, numbers in hand. You rewrite the range that was wrong. And when a spot leaves you unsure, you pass it to your circle or to the community instead of quietly dropping it. That last link is the one missing everywhere else, and it is often the one that unlocks real progress.
The goal is not to hand you more tools. It is to let you improve calmly, without ever wondering where to go looking for the answer.
How GrindLab started
GrindLab was started in 2026 by Paul and Thomas, two associates and lifelong poker players. We were both spending hours a week analyzing hands across a patchwork of solvers, spreadsheets and trackers, and we kept hitting the same wall: every tool was either fast and shallow, or deep but unusable mid-session. And none of them answered the question you actually ask afterwards: was my read right?
Product is our day job. One of us is a Product Owner, the other a Designer, and we have been doing this full time for years. That double hat, players and product people, is what makes the difference: we know how to frame a real need, throw out the plausible-but-wrong ideas, and design journeys that hold up in daily use. Every screen in GrindLab was built for a specific moment in a player's week, not added because the feature happened to be possible.
The GrindLab ecosystem
Your hands come in on their own
The Tracker watches your hand history folder and imports your hands at the end of every session. Cash, tournaments and spins, split by street and sorted by spot. Nothing to retype, nothing to reformat.
Every decision goes under the microscope
The Lab picks the hand up exactly as you played it and puts a number on equity and EV at each action, opponent by opponent, multiway included. You get a concrete verdict, not a wall of percentages.
You fix the range, not just the hand
When the analysis proves you wrong, you rewrite the range behind it combo by combo, straight in your library. The previous version stays available, so you can watch your reads evolve over time.
Your circle takes it from there
When a spot still leaves you unsure, you share it with your circle or the wider community. Coaches and players annotate the hand exactly where the decision was made, and the thread stays there for you to come back to.
Coaches at the heart of GrindLab
Most poker tools treat coaching as a side feature. GrindLab inverts that: we are building a coach to student journey where shared hands, ranges and verdicts become the unit of progress. A coach drops in, leaves structured feedback on a real spot, and the student keeps that thread for review, all inside GrindLab.
If you teach poker, GrindLab is being shaped to be the place where your students do their work.
Founders
GrindLab is built and operated by Paul and Thomas, its two co-founders: a Product Owner and a Designer, both poker players. We outsource neither the design nor the engineering, and we play with the tool we build.
