What stage in the startup process would your ideal candidate be at?
We’re all about turning early-stage ideas into legit companies. If you’ve got a product and are ready to start making sales, you’re in the sweet spot. If you’re still doodling on napkins… maybe finish that first.
Is there a prize for the top pitch?
Yep. Out of the six startup squads in the program, the one that slays the pitch takes home $25,000 USD. No pressure.
Is the program available to nonprofits?
Absolutely. We’re chasing impact, not profit margins. If your nonprofit idea is transformative and hits one of our focus areas, we want you.
What industries are you focused on?
Tech, Food/Beverage, Real Estate, Apparel, Construction… basically, if it’s solving problems and moving fast, we’re interested.
What is the time commitment required?
Expect to block evenings Monday–Thursday (5–8pm) and a half-day on Friday (10–2pm). Show up ready to grind—this is where ideas get real.
How much does the Startup Lab cost?
$0 to attend. Yep, free. 8% equity will be taken and held by our non profit to fuel the cause.
